Re: upgrading to Fedora 11 (x86_64) problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've used the dvd to update, finishes successfully and still the
kernel and yum still point to fc10.
Seem after the packages are all installed the system runs the
cleanup/alter scripts and sometimes
it works and sometimes not.

alt+cntl+F2 and cat the /boot/grub/grub.conf shows no change and top
shows little going
on..

Yesterday and redid the install with preupgrade-cli and did the above
and the grub list was
fixed up and all worked.

I also have updated using just yum.

Note that sometimes yum works fine, after upgrading and sometimes not.
Sometime the yum packages are
installed correctly or ? -- I that case -- I've done the following:

(as root)
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt && cd /mnt/packages && rpm --nodeps -e yum
yum-util && rpm -Uvh yum-.... yum-util-...
(be careful using rpm, note the --nodep  --- be sure to ___backup___
before you do any of this)
