Klaus,

This is to inform you that, "Upgrade" RHEL to RHEL5 upgrades the packages only it dosen't overwrite the configuration and additional data on it.

Hello,

 

I have here several RHEL3 / RHEL5 dual boot systems,

And would like now to "upgrade" the RHEL5 System via anaconda "upgrade" paht.

The issue I got is that anaconda use the first [root] partition in the system for the upgrade,

But on the first [root] partition in the system is RHEL3 installed, which should not be overwritten.

 

/dev/sda1 /boot

/dev/sda2 swap

/dev/sda3 / (RHEL3U7)

/dev/sda4 [Exended]

/dev/sda5 /1 (RHEL5U0)

 

I found in the Mailing list a possible Patch :

 

https://www.redhat.com/archives/kickstart-list/2008-December/msg00019.html

 

but I would prefer to select the right Root partition in the %pre section of upgrade.cf

of rather then to select the right one if anaconda found more then one [root] partition

on the system.

 

I check the RHEL5U3 /usr/lib/anaconda/upgrade.py

File from the Beta ISO but this has also the same methode,

and select the first [root] partition for the "upgrade" L

 

Have anyone a Idea to realize this on RHEL5U1 or later ?

 

Regards

   Klaus
