On your first attempted upgrade, did anaconda start to install packages, and then fail because it ran out of space, or did it just tell you you did not have enough space ? Did you free the space while running the installer, or did you reboot back into F-11, and how exactly did you free the space ? If you freed the space under the installer, did you do so before anaconda complained about lack of space, or did you go back after the complaint, freed the space and tried again ? Can you please get the anaconda log files from /var/log (on your currently running system) and attach them here ? Sorry comment #1 should have gone to bug 540602. About this bug, yes the pre-upgrade failing due to /boot being to small, this is a known issue. We've made the default /boot size for F-12 larger to avoid this. I know this won't help users who upgraded from F-11 or older as they are stuck with the old /boot size. We are trying to see if we can do something for these users. But for now the advise is to use another update method (such as using the installation dvd to upgrade). |
