My sympathies go out to you. :-)
I presume I need to replace the /etc/releases file, the yum
configuration and (maybe) force-reinstall some upgrades
I have never actually tried to do the upgrade but years ago when RHEL (then
called 2.1AS) was new, I used a 7.3 system to build the 2.1AS rpms. The
biggest problem I had was that some of the 7.3 packages were newer then the
2.1AS packages. IIRC 2.1AS was based off of RHL 7.2.
I suspect that trying to do the upgrade from 7.3 to CentOS2.1, _might_
leave
you with some packages not up to date.
Those I can identify at my leisure and apply a little force to.
Possibly, some were new in RHL 7.3.
