At the end I re-set /etc/redhat-release to F11 and restarted the upgrade grub line and the upgrade proceeded and system rebooted... but now I have a stop with dracut that seems not able to see my LVM based root..... I try to start with "rdinitdebug rdshell" command line parameters, then manually mount my /boot partition and save over there init.log and output of dmesg Relevant first error message at boot is dracut: /var/log/lvm2.log: fopen failed: No such file or directory from rdshell I'm able to mount /boot but I get error trying LVM commands. For example. lvm pvdisplay File descriptor 9 (/.console_lock) leaked on lvm invocation. parent PID 751: sh /var/log/lvm2.log: fopen failed: No such file or directory so I manually create /var/log/lvm2.log with cat > /var/log/lvm2.log Ctrl+d and then the command lvm pvdisplay works.... (with the file descriptor message and that it is ffalling back to local file-based locking) so now I can activate my volume group and mount my root file system I think after all this pain, that all the problem is in /var/log directory missing from initramfs embedded tree So I need to recreate initramfs file with /var/log directory..... I'm able to make this with mkinitrd but not with dracut...... any hints? I think I'm going to bugzilla against dracut anyway..... because probably the ones that upgrade with an LVM root will encounter the same scenario... correct?
