I tried to upgrade from FC1 to FC3.
I had 3 problems, FC3 ;) Here is a short summary ....
1 - CD2 hangs up intallation telling that the media or
openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2.10 package is corrupted.
I found out something having a look at error messages.
" IOError 28 occured copying openoffice.org.i18n-A.A.2.10.i386.rpm" no free
space
It looks like installation process can not copy openoffice into
/mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/ because it is 100% full.
What I did to bypass openoffice upgrade :
- boot on CD 1 using "linux rescue"
- rpm -e openoffice* so that upgrade does not bother about openoffice
- upgrade one more
2 - First reboot : grub was still pointing to 2.4 kernel ... which was not
on disk anymore : grub.conf was not upgraded
What I did to upgrade grub.conf manually :
- boot on CD 1 using "linux rescue"
- edit /boot/grub/grub.conf changing old kernel to new
title Fedora Core 3 (2.6.9-1.667) root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/Volume00/LogVol00 rhgb
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
- reboot
3 - Second reboot I had this error message :
MOUNT: ERROR 6 MOUNTING EXT3
MOUNT: ERROR 2 MOUNTING NONE
SWITCHROOT: MOUNT FAILED:22
UNMOUNT /INITRD/DEV FAILED: 2
KERNEL PANIC - NOT SYNCING: ATTEMPTED TO KILL INIT!
What I did , I needed to create a new initrd file :
- boot on CD 1 using "linux rescue"
- To create new initrd :
chroot /mnt/sysimage
remove old /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img 2.6.9-1.667
A new initrd file is created and the system boot successfully.
Hope it can help ...
Thanks for all reply to my fisrt message ...
