all these symptoms sound like your upgrade went horribly wrong. I've
seen preupgrade mash up a box by half upgrading like that. It's the
main
reason
I don't think preupgrade is actually safe to use yet.
Preupgrade's process is to depsolve - using the same method anaconda
does, download the pkgs it solves out. Put them in a cachedir. Download
a kernel and an initrd, Setup a ks.cfg. then reboot the machine and
allow anaconda to do the install.
Specific issues we've had with preupgrade are related to not being able
to find a mirror and/or not being able to get pkgs.
Mine were
* preupgrade running out of diskspace on / when trying to fill
/var/cache/yum (my "/"'s tend to be minimized/small)
You're not blaming Preupgrade for the partition being too small, are
you? If
you want a small root partition you should put /var/cache/yum on another
partition.
Do you mean Preupgrade didn't handle the lack of disk space well?
* anaconda failing during reboots due not being able to process fstab
correctly (FC11's anaconda misparses fstab and is unable able to process
bind-mounts nor nfs-mounts).
Bind mounts are fixed, as far as I know:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496406
For NFS mounts, I believe it's fixed in commit
40728ffcc1e32eb6b5ccc0cd3b3ddb23216cf199, which was on June 7th. That
should
carry over NFS mounts listed in /etc/fstab if you are doing an upgrade.
Well, to my knowledge these are "FIXED RAWHIDE", only.
* anaconda's depsolving failed when upgrading an FC10 + FC10-updates
system due to NEVR issues.
If you have any details of the failure, it would help.
Unfortunately no. I had not been involved into upgrading the system this
had happened to from the beginning.
I was called to troubleshoot this upgrade. The situation I found was a
partially upgraded system, stuck on upgrading yum due to a rpm conflict
on yum itself. No idea how the person trying to upgrade managed to get
into this situation.
