Hi, gang. I've been hesitant to do this, but I have an Athlon machine still running FC5 (simply because it worked and I didn't want to mess with it). I've decided to take the plunge and put FC6 on it (like all my other machines). So, I've backed up all the stuff I need, booted the FC6 DVD and started the upgrade process. Everything's fine until it finishes the process of locating stuff to upgrade. Then anaconda spits out a message saying it can't unmount the DVD to continue the process and to verify I don't have anything on a console that would hang it up. I've done that and no, there's nothing on any of the console screens that have the thing in a state where it can't be unmounted. Even an "lsof" shows that, however the damned thing will not unmount. I've tried this several times with "noapic", "hdc=nodma" and several other boot options and it always sticks at the same place. Has anyone else experienced this? I hesitate to do a full install since I really don't want to lose this machine completely. It wouldn't be the end of the world, but it could get a bit sticky. I suppose I could do a fresh install. I also suppose I could upgrade off CD-ROM instead of DVD in case this is a DVD-specific glitch. I hate having to sit there and swap CDs, though. Yes, I'm a lazy sucker! Any suggestions? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Never eat anything larger than your head - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
