FC4->FC5 upgrade problems

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

 



Hi,

I tried upgrade my FC4 box to FC5 from DVD, but I got the message

=======================================================================
Error mounting device /mnt/disk1/home as /home: No such file or directory 

This most likely means this partition has not been formatted. 

Press OK to reboot your system.
=======================================================================

The only action at this point is to push the "OK" button for the
reboot.

My fstab file is following

=============================================================
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for
details
LABEL=/         /          ext3    defaults      1 1
LABEL=/boot     /boot      ext3    defaults      1 2
/dev/hda8       /mnt/disk1 ext3    defaults      1 2
/mnt/disk1/usr  /usr       none    bind          0 0
/mnt/disk1/home /home      none    bind          0 0
/mnt/disk1/var  /var       none    bind          0 0

none            /dev/pts   devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none            /dev/shm   tmpfs   defaults        0 0
none            /proc      proc    defaults        0 0
none            /sys       sysfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hdb3       swap       swap    defaults        0 0
============================================================== 

I skip several unimportant lines from fstab (mounting CD-ROM,
DVD, floppy, and win partitions). It is not clear from fstab that
/dev/hdb2=/
/dev/hdb1=/boot
hda1, hda5, hda6, hda7 are win partitions.

This fstab is correct. I found (from ALT-F2 console) that anaconda installer
mounted / and /boot correctly to /mnt/sysimage, then skiped line

/dev/hda8 /mnt/disk1 ext3 defaults 1 2

(why??), and then failed mount /home.

Is it possibbe to say anaconda installer what partitions should be mounted?

Any ideas how to upgrade such system?
