I can't tell from what you written above, but, pre-upgrade is a multi step process. Here are the steps in a nut-shell: 1) run preupgrade and have it download packages to a local repository on your machine. It should also modify your /etc/grub.conf file to add an entry which will continue the upgrade in step 2. When this step completes, it should ask you to reboot your computer. 2) when you reboot, it should automatically select the F15 upgrade entry and boot into the second stage installer and start installing the downloaded packages on to your system. This is the step that fails for many people. Places to look for problems are in /etc/grub.conf and in /boot/upgrade/. In the latter you should have at least 3 files: initrd.img, ks.cfg, and vmlinuz. If not, something else has gone wrong for you to look into. If everything goes right, when the packages are finished installing (and yet another change is made to your /etc/grub.conf file), the system will reboot yet again.... 3) The final reboot will run a script called firstboot which should clean up from the upgrade process, and remove the old kernel versions from your system. It will also check to make sure that any new packages are configured properly (or prompt you for their configuration) so that F15 will run correctly for you upon subsequent reboots. If you get this far, preupgrade has done its job correctly and you should be all set. > There are no vmlinuz-xxx.fc15.i686 and initramfs-xxxx-fc15.i686.img in > /boot, no entry about fc-15 written in grub.conf, and nothing related to > fc15 is found in /lib/modules. > > I just try to download kernel and install it manually.

If it can't find any fc15 packages installed, you haven't upgraded yet. > -- > Bob -- Kevin J.
