Hi, I'm sorry for the ambiguous subject line, but I couldn't really describe my problem more specifically. I firstly tried upgrading to Fedora 14 from 13 using PreUpgrade (the GTK interface). After rebooting, the package upgrading was interrupted because of an error upgrading google-chrome-stable (from the Google repo, admittely my mistake for not disabling it before upgrading), so I booted using fc13 kernel (more on that later) and removed the package. Then attempted the upgrade again, and it finished successfully. The fc14 kernel however doesn't boot. It gives kernel panic , can't mount root on unknown block. I checked the grub entry, and found that there's no initrd line, and there's no initramfs image in /boot for the fc14 kernel either. I tried running mkinitrd to create an image for the fc14 kernel, but I got many lines of "ERROR: modinfo: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686/modules.dep" I then checked the package list to remove the kernel then install it again to see if that would fix the problem, but I noticed another thing. For most of the packages, I have both the fc13 and fc14 packages. I then tried upgrading using yum, but I get a duplicate error for most packages like: "sssd-1.4.0-2.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with sssd-1.3.0-35.fc13.i686 sssd-client-1.4.0-2.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with sssd-client-1.3.0-35.fc13.i686 stix-fonts-1.0.0-1.fc14.noarch is a duplicate with stix-fonts-0.9-13.fc12.noarch strigi-devel-0.7.2-5.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with strigi-devel-0.7.2-5.fc13.i686 strigi-libs-0.7.2-5.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with strigi-libs-0.7.2-5.fc13.i686 stunnel-4.33-1.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with stunnel-4.33-1.fc13.i686 subversion-1.6.13-1.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with subversion-1.6.13-1.fc13.i686 subversion-libs-1.6.13-1.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with subversion-libs-1.6.13-1.fc13.i686 sudo-1.7.4p4-3.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with sudo-1.7.4p4-3.fc13.i686 swing-layout-1.0.4-2.fc14.noarch is a duplicate with swing-layout-1.0.4-1.fc13.i686 syslinux-4.02-3.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with syslinux-3.84-1.fc13.i686 system-config-boot-0.4.1-2.fc14.i686 is a duplicate with system-config-boot-0.4.1-1.fc12.i686 system-config-date-1.9.61-1.fc14.noarch is a duplicate with system-config-date-1.9.59-1.fc13.noarch" Now, I've managed to erase and install the fc14 kernel, and now the initrd line is added and it boots successfully. Still one problem remains, I want to get rid of those duplicates, I'm trying to use package-cleanup, but to fix the problems, it suggests removing most of KDE. I hope I could avoid that. I tried to hunt that down with yum, and I found a weird problem with the akonadi package. It's a duplicate, or it's not! Many KDE packages depend on akonadi, so I suspect that's the problem. I can't get rid of the old fc13 akonadi, and keep the fc14 one.
