Hi, I just tried to upgrade to F7 from my FC6 installation. Couldn't do it =( First of all, anaconda didn't offer me to upgrade right away, default was a fresh install (I guess I recall some complaints about it with FC6 installation, I guess it still hasn't been fixed). No problem, I chose "upgrade an existing installation", and it correctly offered me to upgrade FC6 on /dev/sda3. My partition layout is: ~ fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 14 1288 10241437+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda3 1289 2563 10241437+ 83 Linux /dev/hda4 2564 9729 57560895 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 2564 2690 1020096 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda6 2691 9729 56540736 b W95 FAT32 (the FAT partition exists because I needed some common storage area between XP and Linux before ntfs-3g) However, when I clicked "Next" I received this error message: "An error occurred mounting device hda6 as /windata. You may continue installation, but there may be problems" /etc/fstab looks like: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults,user_xattr 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 /win ntfs-3g user,uid=500,gid=100,ro,nls=utf8 0 0 /dev/hda6 /windata vfat user,uid=500,gid=100,exec,posix 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 I was offered two options: "reboot" or "continue". I checked tty1-4. but nothing seemed really wrong (aside from the fact that FAT partition was being referenced as hda6 instead of sda6). I decided to be brave (or stupid) and clicked "continue". It didn't go too far: I was immediately presented with another error: "Error enabling swap partition device hda5: no such file or directory. The /etc/fstab on your upgrade partition does not reference a valid swap partition. Press ok to reboot your system". (notice again the 'hda5' instead of 'sda5'... could it be due to the fact that I don't have LABELs for hda5 and hda6?) Well, this time I could only reboot and come back to FC6 =( Any hints on how to workaround this? Should I file a bug report? If it helps, my system configuration is: ASUS A7N-8X Deluxe E Ahtlon XP 2700+ 80GB Seagate ST380011A 1GB RAM Looking forward to upgrading to F7... TIA Andre
