Hi, for the 1st time since RH6.0, I am unable to upgrade a RedHat OS. That sucks. I have F7 (x86_64) installed from scratch and up-to-date on an Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, SATA HD running in IDE mode (this machine dual-boots with Windows XP, and it doesn't work with SATA). If I try to upgrade, the whole thing runs ok (sort of) until the "checking dependencies in packages selected for installation" step, where it sits forever stuck on 99% completed -- and it seems to take too much time to reach this stage IMHO. I tried both graphical and text installations, no luck. I let it work that last 1% for _one_ hour, no luck either. I don't know any logs I could check -- tty[34] don't show anything too suspicious AFAICS. I tried monitoring anaconda's process with strace -c, and I got something like this after 1min: pread: 337K calls, 50% of the time gettimeofday: 147K calls, 18% rt_sigprocmask: 115K calls, 8% fcntl: 52K calls, 7.8% stat: 21.3K calls, 5.3% -- and 15K errors access: 18K calls, 3.5%, 12.4K errors I hope these numbers mean something to someone. And I hope someone can help me get out of this dead-end. Otherwise, I am stuck with F7, and that doesn't make any sense to me. Please let me know if there's any additional info I can provide. Damn, this is really frustrating =/ TIA Andre
