I boot I can't see any of the init.d services because gettext had dependency issues. (as I latter find out, there are alot of dep issues)
gettext: error while loading shared libraries: libintl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (further research shows that it never updated the rpm libintl) [root@cool etc]# rpm -V gettext Unsatisfied dependencies for gettext-0.11.2-7mdk: libintl2 = 0.11.2-7mdk, libgettextlib-0.11.2.so , libgettextsrc-0.11.2.so , libintl.so.2 Kernel woes.. The system booted to Linux version 2.4.18-19mdk, it didn't install a newer version of the kernel, (I latter find it, the same is true for alot of other packages.) I installed kernel-2.4.19-3mdk and rebooted with the proper kernel I have two cdrom drives, dvd and a burner, only one was listed in fstab Both cdroms were previously setup as supermount, the one in fstab is iso9660. The dev it pointed to didn't exist /dev/cdrom2 (it appears to be currently /dev/cdrom0 ) My primary cdrom is not in listed in /dev, kernel sees it as hdc: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1612, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive. If I manually mount /dev/hdd1 it must triger something, dmesg pops a new message "hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)" and it shows up at /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd, until the system reboots. The cdrom contains kernel-headers-2.4.18-40mdk, shouldn't it be 2.4.19-3mdk? No matter, nvidia srpm compiled without a problem. During the install I was prompted with several questions regarding X. However I don't think my XF86config-4 was modified, because I have a NVidia video card, and the driver didn't get replaced with X generic NV one. The system appears to be trying to start X before finishing to start other init.d services (including before xfs starts). When the services finally finishes loading it stops at a console login. inittab shows 5, when I manually changed it to 3 it functioned as expected. Postfix fails to start with postalias: fatal: bad numerical configuration: debug_peer_level = 2?

no window manager. KDE wouldn't start until I added /usr/lib/qt3/lib to ld.so.conf It's obvious alot of packages didn't get replaced with there newer versions. I decided to try the install again...weeee!!! Reinstall made things worse, the first re-install I did a regular update, the second time I selected a packages upgrade only install. Neither time did it upgrade the packages it missed before. Somewhere inbetween the second and third attempt to reinstall, files got corrupted, I ended up with a a modules.conf that looks like this.. [Desktop Entry] Name=Play Pingus, a Lemmings clone Comment=Play Pingus, a Lemmings clone Exec=Pingus Terminal=false Icon=pingus.png Type=Application Name[en_US]=Play Pingus, a Lemmings clone Name[en]=Play Pingus, a Lemmings clone alias usb-interface0 usb-uhci alias usb-interface0 usb-uhci Looks like a backup was made called modules.conf.mdkgiorig, restored that. Lilo.conf is gibbersh, and oh good, lilo.conf.old now also contains gibbersh. Allot of applnk-mdk-simplified are also corrupted. I can report more if you guys like... just let me know. My system is pretty trashed, worst upgrade in my 4+ years using Linux. It will take some time for me to recover from this.
