All worked fine until the installer ran after reboot. It hit a problem with mounting /boot (md0). The boot partition couldn't be mounted, so the installer quit. It didn't provide any detailed information, so I am stumped once again. At least on reboot the server comes back and boots the existing installation which is good.

Ran into a minor issue with mine, too...I think there was a disk space issue in root that horked me up...I got the preupgrade to run, but now I still have 490 filesets to update. Should be good in a little while. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I'll probably kick that off over the weekend. While I'm thinking of it...if I wanted to run pre-upgrade on a headless system that normally runs in runlevel 3, is there not a text based version of the preupgrade interface? -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscr...@bubbanfriends.org -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

If I run preupgrade on my F9 system (the same system I on which I used preupgrade to go from F8 to F9), it presents me with the option to upgrade to F10.

While I'm not the original poster, I've not seen an option to download a "preupgrade" that will take one to F10. I had used preupgrade to go from F8 to F9, but I've not, yet, found one to go from F9 to F10 (or, I may simply be missing something). -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscr...@bubbanfriends.org -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
