I know you're not going to like the response, but I didn't have any problems updating from RH7.3 to RH9 other than the installer crashing in the middle of disk 2. Doing an apt-get upgrade-dist after reboot replaced the rest of the packages. The important thing is the aic7xxx and megaraid modules loaded flawlessly. I suspect some strange "solar flare" driven problem like the one I'm having with SMP on this workstation. Are there any good resources for a beginner on learning to debug these more obscure problems? j- On Tue, 2003-11-11 at 10:24, Alex F.
