What is the problem? You need more space apparently. I wasn't expecting any space related errors during the upgrade, especially since it was a default server install with more than sufficient drive resources _AND_ the original partitioning scheme was created with the auto-partitioning feature in 7.0. The details of the original partition map are listed above. What are the contents of /boot? It seems like alot of space is being taken up. I modified the autopartitioning some time ago for 7.1 to make /boot larger, btw, so this should not be a future problem. Do you have any more information on this bug? The 2.4 kernel has apparently pushed the sizes so that the automatically choosen values for /boot in previous releases is not large enough. We've fixed this in the 7.1 installer for new installs. For your case perhaps you can move the /boot directory to your /? Or you could make a boot floppy for your old installation, remove the contects from /boot, and try upgrading. Unfortunately you'll run into this problem again when you try to upgrade next time if you try this option. Marking this as NOTABUG since it is accurately reporting you don't have enough disk space, and we have corrected the allocation problem for 7.1 installs. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused, I hope one of my suggestions will help. Closing. |
