I think its safe to say Red Hat wouldn't support a machine that was upgraded from RHEL3 to RHEL4. I know some people that have done this and from the problems they encountered . . . its probably faster to just back up the machine and reinstall everything from scratch. Besides, I personally don't trust upgrading across major kernel revisions. It just seems like something would almost have to go wrong. On 7/10/06, Arun Williams <perks_williams@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi, There two ways (which I have tried out ) to upgrade from RHEL3AS TO RHEL4AS. 1> boot from rhel4as cd and go for a normal installation.The installation program searches for any existing RHEL versions installed, and if it finds one then it provides u with 2 options, one is upgrade and another is new install. Go for upgrade and it will work fine. 2> boot from rhel4as cd and at linux installation prompt enter "linux upgrade". Even this works fine. But not recommended. Regards, Arun William.

We would like to do the upgrade rather than reinstalling everything from scratch. Is this just an empty hope, or does this stand a reasonable chance of success? Experiences, anyone?
