Hello, Having a laptop without cd and not connected to the internet I'm testing replacing an existing f16 (no backup needed) First attempt: - put vmlinuz and initrd.img from dvd iso into the /boot directory of f16 installation - put dvd iso under an usb external disk (/f17 dir in its first partition, formatted as ext4) - add section to grub2.cfg with only insmod ext2 linux /boot/vmlinuz.f17 initrd /boot/initrd.f17 (don't know if I have to put "set root" to anything...) - reboot and select new entry. Installer starts but then arrives at dracut debug shell with dracut Warning: unable to process initqueue dracut Warning: /dev/root does not exist also tried putting repo in linux line. Attempt several syntax eg linux /boot/vmlinuz.f17 repo=hd:sdb1:/f17 linux /boot/vmlinuz.f17 repo=hd:/dev/sdb1:/f17 and with "inst.repo" instead of "repo" Same result. I saw these bugs that should be solved now. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806867 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806966 Is my method supposed to work with f17? Any way/command to give in dracut debug shell? Thanks in advance, Gianluca -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
