Preupgrade randomly fails anyway. Its great when it works but it's a bit of a russian roulette experience. 1. Make a backup 2. Check your backup 3. Install the fedora-release-* rpms from F16 4. Go to run level 3 (or 1) and a text mode console (this is vital for 15->16). If you don't then the desktop will go berzerk mid upgrade and it'll end in a nasty mess. 5. yum upgrade yum 6. yum upgrade 7. check your /boot/grub2.cfg looks sane. Whether you upgrade or use the CD or whatever F16 is incredibly broken here and frequently totally screws this up preventing booting from anything but rescue media. If its broken you may need to screw about by hand until it concedes defeat and generates you the right bits Reboot Fix up your services (as per F15 to F16 upgrade notes), something else Fedora makes a hash of however you upgrade. and then all should be well. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
