Yeah, I saw this too. The bug isn't low/low; it makes the system inoperable unless you know enough to spot the missing /. It's only inoperable only for one reboot. The installer kernel is only the default kernel for the next reboot, not forever. Also this problem has been fixed in the upstream bzr - just not released as a package, yet. Yes, this is fixed in bzr - see trac ticket #19: https://fedorahosted.org/preupgrade/ticket/19 This bug will be updated when we push out a new preupgrade package. I just tried preupgrade from F8 to F9, and I have /boot on root. Apparently this patch from May '08 has still not been released. I'll try the workaround, but can a new pkg be spun, please? It's in the updates-testing repo - preupgrade-0.9.8-2.fc[89]. |
