I am trying to upgrade from i386 FC2 to FC5 using CDs and the graphical
version of the installer. The mediacheck went fine. The preliminary
upgrade seemed to go fine through the checking dependencies stage. Once
that was done I hit "return" and got the message "Transferring install
image to hard drive." About two seconds later an error message popped
up saying I was probably out of disk space. Upon clicking on "Okay" to
that message a second error message appeared mentioning an uncaught
exception and suggesting it was probably an anacoda bug. The anaconda
log mentions something about a device being busy, presumably the hard drive.
From running a df -h it seems I have plenty of disk space.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc2 18G 6.9G 9.8G 42% /
/dev/hdc1 99M 8.2M 86M 9% /boot
none 316M 0 316M 0% /dev/shm
Any suggestions on proceeding? I know I can do a clean install of FC5,
but would prefer to upgrade if possible.
Thanks for any help you can give.
