Description Paul DeStefano 2013-12-18 07:20:02 UTC

Description of problem:

Fedup seems to work fine actually; logs are clean.  But, after fedup, the "upgrade boot", created by fedup process, fails to boot and causes very early crash/panic and immediate reset.  No error was noticed or logged.  (And it takes a while to reproduce, of course.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

fedup-0.7.3-4.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
Tried it twice.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. fedup --network 20
2. reboot when instructed
3. 

Actual results:
system resets very early in boot process

Expected results:
system will boot upgrade kernel

Additional info:
This must be something with my hardware, right?  It's not possible that this just didn't get noticed before release.  But, I need help to diagnose.

Comment 1 Paul DeStefano 2013-12-19 00:08:40 UTC

Upgrade instructions recommend filing this bug against fedup-dracut, not fedup, so I'm just changing that.  I hope that's helpful.

Comment 2 Paul DeStefano 2013-12-30 03:44:48 UTC

I have no idea what changed, but I tried it again, yesterday, and the upgrade kernel booted and packages were upgraded.

Thanks to someone!

Comment 3 filippo.poltronieri 2014-01-29 18:46:05 UTC

I have the same problem. What have you upgrade? I don't understand what "bug against fedup-dracut" means.

Comment 4 Will Woods 2014-01-30 20:01:02 UTC

This is likely just a duplicate of bug 1044086; please update to fedup-0.8.0 and try again.
