Product: Installation Component: Installation Summary: Doesn't detect previous installation Product: Installation Version: 1.843 Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P5 Component: Installation AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trying to upgrade Mandrake 8.2 to latest Mandrake 9.2RC2 I ran the installation 3 times. It didn't ask me if i want to upgrade or just install (it assumed i wanted to install). It didn't correctly find the mount point of my existing partitions. Then i tried this: i followed the install until i reached the partitionning ("partionnement" in french). Then I tell the install program where should every partition be mounted. Next, i carefully tell him not to format anything. It verified the partitions. I then rebooted and finaly, it worked! It detected succesfully my existing installation and asked me if i wanted to upgrade or install I'm now going to upgrade... :) note: my HD is partitionned like this: Disque /dev/hda : 255 têtes, 63 secteurs, 2432 cylindres Unités = cylindres sur 16065 * 512 octets Périphérique Amorce Début Fin Blocs Id Système /dev/hda1 * 35 417 3076447+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 418 2432 16185487+ 5 Etendue /dev/hda5 418 449 257008+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 450 481 257008+ 82 Echange Linux /dev/hda7 482 1143 5317483+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 1144 1538 3172806 83 Linux /dev/hda9 1539 2432 7181023+ 83 Linux TFD -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
