It's never a good idea to abort an upgrade and restart it (it results in the other weirdness you hit later). When anaconda is running, a console is available on tty2; you can fiddle about with processes there to try and unstuck whatever's stuck. That sounds somewhat like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822008 ; there's a fix in for that bug, but it only got pushed to stable in the last day or so. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
