Description Emil Karlen 2004-10-17 20:03:28 UTC

Upgrade from Fecora Core 1.

Choosen options:

Installation media: DVD

* Processor: Inte Pentium 4 3Ghz
* Memory: 1 Gb
* Graphics adapter: ATI Radeon 9600

Were you using stock ext3 before?  Can you switch ttys when it hangs?

Comment 2 Emil Karlen 2004-10-18 20:22:55 UTC

/ : stock ext3
/home : other partition, reiserfs

Yes I can switch tty, the sh-shell seems to work properly.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2004-10-18 21:34:23 UTC

Does it work better if you boot with 'linux selinux=0'?

Comment 4 Emil Karlen 2004-10-19 00:30:42 UTC

Yes! the upgrade works!

But a new problem appears (shall I enter a new bug?):
After reboot new hardware is found (a network card) and the red dialog
box with the options "Configure", "Ignore" ... (free translations from
swedish) appears. But suddenly the dialog box disappears and the text
screen with the boot progress is shown, with the last line:
"Activating swap space" (again my own translation from swedish).

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2004-10-19 15:44:09 UTC

Okay, this will be fixed in the final release.
