Additional info:
Doing some more research I found the following bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225184
I am unsure if it refers to the same problem I am having but I assume they are
at least related.
One Note: This computer has been running a 32 bit F24 and I was planning to
move to the 64 bit. I have install F26 64 bit on about 10 computers that had
F24 32 bit on them. The installs worked with no problems. They were also plain
single drive computers.
I did an install using nfs for F24 Server 64 bit with no problem.
I have tried the F25 and F26 versions for Server, netinstall, Workstation. I
did this using nfs from another computer and a flash drive. None worked.
At this point I see two options: do a dnf upgrade from F24 to F25, then do a
dnf upgrade from F25 to F26, or install Centos7, which I would prefer not to
do. Nothing against Centos, I used it for 4/5 years but changed to Fedora
because I wanted to deal with incremental changes instead of a lot of changes
after running Centos for 8 -10 years.
Does anyone have other ideas or workarounds?
How solid is the dnf upgrade process?
Thanks for all the input,
David
