A sample syslog from an attempt to upgrade a running 7.1 installation
Please see http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHBA-2001-131.html for more information on the update disk to fix this problem *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 51214 *** Note that even with "updates" floppy, like mentioned in RHBA-2001-131, an installation and/or upgrade would still fail due to "13c1:1001 problem". If you will look at the report again you will notice that partitioning was only ONE among other troubles and a diskette image refered to in errata only supplies a new 'parted' library. I believe that "CLOSED DUPLICATE" is at this moment an incorrect disposition. If you think that I am wrong close it again. I tried today and an "updates" floppy, as per RHBA-2001-131, does not really solve the problem. With a "correct" drivers disk I see on a screen, few times, "Loading 3w-xxxx driver", updates load and after that I get "You don't have any Linux partitions. You can't upgrade this system!". By jumping-in "early enough" to a shell prompt and typing 'insmod 3w-xxxx.o' I can avoid the error above. With "updates" floppy present an upgrade proceeds without incidents and the resulting system starts and runs just fine. But this is rather among "don't try this at home" solutions. |
