Upgrade RedHat 8 to Fedora Core 2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Good morning list, 

Last night I tried to install Fedora Core 2 and I hit
a snag.  Here is my process that I used.  I first
backed up my important files.  Then I ran the media
check on the CD's, all passed.  Next, I installed
Fedora Core 2.  It gave me an option to upgrade, as RH
normally does, so I tried it for fun.  Everything went
splendidly until the reboot.  I rebooted after
upgrading, and I have inittab set to boot to run level
5.  Well, it did not get that far, it booted to a
login prompt.  I logged in as root and tried to
startx.  I have a GeForce 2 video card and I know they
can be tricky with the drivers and when I startx I got
an error about how the driver wasn't loaded into the
kernel.  No problem, I just used the old driver to
upgrade to the new, using nvidia-installer --upgrade. 
So, it successfully updated the driver and everything
looked fine.  So, I startx again.  I get the Nvidia
splash screen then I can see the X mouse pointer for a
split second before it drops back to the command-line.
 I can see the driver loaded fine but at the bottom is
the new error message(actually it was not new, it was
there before I updated the dirver as well but I wanted
to see if updating the driver would fix it as well). 
Bear with me, this was late last night and I might not
have it exactly and this is a paraphrase--- 
"ssh-agent cannot find libcrypt.so.#(some number)
cannot find the file specified..." 

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?  Also, why
would this stop X from starting? 

Thanks, 

-Jason
