Re: Fedora 6 directly to Fedora 9 upgrade path?

I just bit the bullet ....

1.  upgrade was totally smooth - i did not do yum upgrade ... I just
burnt the ISO DVD; and then booted off CD and chose, UPGRADE current
system ...

2.  it took a long time, but it went smooth ...

3.  however, I further yum upgraded (AFTER the initial upgrade) ....
my kernel, and installed the source (developer/headers) and upgraded
.... somewhere AFTER upgrading to the latest kernel - I rebooted

4.  boot FAILED and was stuck at GRUB in the upper left-hand side ...

5.  booted off rescue cd and did a
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/sda recheck

6.  I looked at the /boot/grub/ config files .. and for some reason
peaked on the device.map .. and saw that it was changed - the current
one looked like this:

(fd0)	/dev/fd0
(hd0)	/dev/sda

7.  I changed it back to only this:

(hd0)	/dev/sda


And I was able to boot back into FC9!
