This is fixed in the final release version of the code. |
I hope the following will be fixed, as it was a plain standard upgrade from 6.1 to 6.2RC2.0 The following Python exception occurred during the Post Install phase: file /usr/bin/anaconda, line 342 in ? intf.run(todo, test=test) /usr/lib/anaconda/text.py, line 1165 in run rc=apply(step[1](), step[2]) /usr/lib/anaconda/text.py, line 702 in __call__ if todo.install(): /usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py, line 1321 in doInstall self.upgrade) /usr/lib/anaconda/lilo.py, line 231 in install (fsType, sl) = lilo.getImage(image) /usr/lib/anaconda/lilo.py, line 43 in getImage raise IndexError, "unknown image %s" %(name,) IndexError: unknown image /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20 The install aborted, and luckily I could reboot my old system: * old kernel wasn't present (luckily it still was physically present on the disk) * no /etc/lilo.conf It seems like rpm deletes the old kernel, and during the upgrade of lilo it tries to reference the removed vmlinuz. Here's my old lilo.conf: [jules@semtex jules]$ cat /etc/lilo.conf.rpmsave boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20 label=linux vga=791 append="mem=127M" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img root=/dev/hda7 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20 label=linux-novga initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img root=/dev/hda7 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20 label=linux-ask vga=ask initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img root=/dev/hda7
