Why didn't the upgrade work last time, and why does a simple "yum update" try to trick me into upgrading, and why does booting fail after that? There isn't anything special here. Besides, it might just work when I actually try to upgrade. That still won't explain why running yum update messes up the booting. -- Fedora 18 -- 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?
