Description

reiserfs is completely unsupported. Note that the FC3 being updated to FC4 is not reiserfs; it is ext3 (from the above): LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 These are /dev/hdb7 and /dev/hdb8 respectively above. Thus, I would expect the upgrade to work. My previous upgrade on those same partitions, from Red Hat 8 to Fedora Core 3, suffered no such problems, installing without incident, though the same reiserfs partitions were present then as now (/dev/hda5, /dev/hda7, /dev/hdb2, and /dev/hdb3). So it would seem some new behavior has intruded to interfere with upgrading in the presence of reiserfs partitions, though they are not the partitions to be upgraded; and then, if bypassed as noted above, to hang booting at "GRUB Loading Stage 2". If the installer or the bootloader have to deal with reiserfs at all, all bets are off. If you can reproduce this on a machine without reiserfs present at all, then I'll investigate further. |
