No response on this.
FYI here is the setup of boot partition:
[Philip@f8 upgrade]$ pwd
/boot/upgrade
[Philip@f8 upgrade]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
12G 6.1G 4.8G 57% /
/dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 32% /boot
tmpfs 189M 12K 189M 1% /dev/shm
[Philip@f8 upgrade]$
I have run this a few times and noticed that it
messes up the grub.conf file.
Multiple references to

[Philip@f8 grub]$ sudo cat grub.conf

It needs ~120MB for installer images. No, it can't be put on another partition - it needs to be on a partition that GRUB / anaconda stage1 can read. Which means no LVM, among other things. Yes, we know it adds new junk to grub.conf every time it runs. Normally you only run it once, and it gets cleaned out when you finish your upgrade. You shouldn't need URL/NFS image location info - that's what 'method=XXX' specifies. Not sure why anaconda would ask you that. You will need to configure a wired network interface after rebooting to download stage2.img and complete the upgrade. If you can't do that, and you can't create a bigger /boot partition, you probably won't be able to run preupgrade at this time. The next version of preupgrade makes that much clearer (and checks for disk space on /boot before downloading all the packages). |
