Updating grub shoud be done AFTER rebooting?
Mrdave said: I had probles launching grub-install /dev/sda just after the upgrade and before rebooting to the new kernel, it resulted in a unbootable system, I had to use the rescue CD and grub-install again.
This happened in F7 > F8 upgrade, in F8 > F9 I did grub-install after reboot and had no problems.
Kiilerix: Strange. I have never seen that. But I have seen that I had to do a grub-install _before_ rebooting. So I don't think there is general advice here. If others have experience in this area please let us know.
Updating from 8 => 9
Yum was not selecting any updates when doing "yum upgrade". I solved this by doing "yum --noplugins upgrade". I think one of the yum plugins was causing a problem.
issues during yum upgrade from f9 to f10
first:
at section
3. Switch repositories
maybe it's better to first move old fedora*repo* livna* etc (all except rpmfusion, usually) to an 'older' subfolder and only then
rpm -Uvh fedora-release*
also, it may be interesting to suggest using a mirror ....
second, here are my other notes during yum upgrade:
below, whenever i've done
yum remove <something>
i should have tried
yum update <something>
first.
move all fedora* livna* dribble* fresh* /old // leave only rpmfusion (clean if necessary)
Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/bin/rhgb-client from install of plymouth-0.6.0-0.2008.11.17.3.fc10.i386 conflicts with file from package rhgb-1:9.0.0-6.fc9.i386
yum remove rhgb
Installing : kernel 18/45
The default plymouth plugin (.so) doesn't exist
yum remove gnome-desktop-debuginfo // needs some old libgnome thingy
file /usr/bin/kjots from install of kdepim-6:4.1.2-5.fc10.i386 conflicts with file from package kdeutils-6:4.1.2-3.fc9.i386 yum remove kdeutils
not enough disk space on / :)
Transaction Check Error:
file /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt from install of ca-certificates-2008-7.noarch conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.8g-9.fc9.i686
yum update openssl :)
gui (gdm) does not start, even after full f10 update (and not even with xdriver=vesa)
to fix this, yum install plymouth-plugin\* plymouth-system-plugin\* yumdownloader kernel and rpm -Uvh kernel*i686* --force
also, don't forget to append
vga=0x318
at the end of the kernel line in grub.conf (if your video card is not supported by kernel modesetting ...)
have fun :)
