Re: upgrading to Fedora 11 (x86_64) problem

Thank you for your information.

None of Fedora 11 packages are installed when I tried to upgrade yesterday. The Fedora 10 installation is intact except the grub installation. That is what I expected because the last screen was displayed immediately after I chose "update boot leader configuration".

I used this DVD image to upgrade HP Proliant successfully. So anaconda skipped the whole upgrading process on this server puzzled me.

I am thinking about trying to upgrade using yum when I have a chance.

Seem after the packages are all installed the system runs the
cleanup/alter scripts and sometimes
it works and sometimes not.

alt+cntl+F2 and cat the /boot/grub/grub.conf shows no change and top
shows little going
on..

Yesterday and redid the install with preupgrade-cli and did the above
and the grub list was
fixed up and all worked.

I also have updated using just yum.

Note that sometimes yum works fine, after upgrading and sometimes not.
Sometime the yum packages are
installed correctly or ? -- I that case -- I've done the following:

(as root)
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt&&  cd /mnt/packages&&  rpm --nodeps -e yum
yum-util&&  rpm -Uvh yum-.... yum-util-...
(be careful using rpm, note the --nodep  --- be sure to ___backup___
before you do any of this)

Hi All,

I tried to upgrade Dell Precision T3400 to Fedora 11 from Fedora 10, but the
upgrade failed.

After anaconda booted and got all needed information (soon after I chose
what I would like to do with grub), the program skipped the whole upgrading
process and quickly displayed the last screen "Upgrading is successful". I
tried a couple more times, but the same thing happened. System still boots
Fedora 10 OK, though I needed to re-install grub because anaconda messed it
up.

I used this DVD for upgrading another machine, so the DVD image should be
burned OK. Probably the installation program has some bugs but they affect
specifically this hardware (Dell Precision T3400).

Does anyone have the same issue? Or better yet, does anyone know a
workaround for this problem?

Thank you.
