Thanks for the bug report Hurry. Do you have this system around still? Are you able to attach the grub.conf prior to rebooting into upgrade. Can you also change to tty2 and attach /tmp/anaconda.log when you see the error shown in the attached screenshot? Thanks! Created attachment 410258 [details]
anaconda log from ivan
Ups, bugzilla ate my comment, here it's again: I can reproduce this on f12 x86_64 bare metal. I attached anaconda.log; partition layout is: /dev/sda1 1 7 56196 6 FAT16 /dev/sda2 8 399 3148740 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sda4 426 19452 152834377+ 5 Extendida /dev/sda5 426 16361 128000000 83 Linux /dev/sda6 * 16361 17891 12287999+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 17891 18400 4095999+ 83 Linux root fs is on sda6 preupgrade-1.1.5-1.fc12.noarch anaconda 13.38 (with 290420010 install.img) I got hit with this bug too. I'll try to detail as much as I can on what I did. I put a Fresh Copy of Fedora 12 i686 LiveCD and installed it on a completely wiped Hard drive with only one gigantic / partition, and one 1024mb swap partition. I proceeded to update Fedora 12. Installed OpenOffice, emesene, messed with Gnome's config a bit, then rebooted and ran Preupgrade (Graphical one), and selected Fedora 13 (Branch). After all was done downloading, it boot into the pretty anaconda. After 5-6 mins in, the screen went blank. I thought it kicked in the screensaver, but moving the mouse wouldn't do anything. Hitting the Caps lock didn't light any keyboard lights, and ctrl-alt-f1/f2/f7 didn't bring any text input. (Side note: Function-Wireless did toggle bluetooth/wifi) I ended up shutting off the computer entirely after 30 or 40 mins of staring onto the blank screen. Tried to run the Upgrade Process again, and no luck. Said no "install.img" was found. Ended up back on Fedora 12, but Gnome had no panels, and alt-f2 didn't pop up anything. I ended up running preupgrade-cli from terminal. It downloaded some packages. Reboot into Anaconda, and the cute "The root for the previous installed system were not found. " popped up. I'll attach logs when I get them. Created attachment 410274 [details]
My ks.cfg
After running preupgrade-cli, this is the ks.cfg I have.

Anaconda log from Nushio
I think this should be reassigned to anaconda, because I can reproduce it without preupgrade; just putting vmlinuz, initrd.img and install.img in /boot and booting from that I never get an option to upgrade, so anaconda never finds f12's root. Also, problem here is that it mounts sda5 (DEBUG anaconda: isys.py:mount()- going to mount /dev/sda5 on /mnt/sysimage as ext4 with options ro) which is /home and then fails (DEBUG anaconda: No upgrade root was found). Even if I explicitly use upgrade with --root-device=sda6 in ks, it still mounts sda5. It was the bug of anaconda 13.38, and verified it fixes in anaconda 13.42 after preupgrading. |
