Description James Laska 2010-10-26 12:49:53 UTC
The stage#2 install.img is going away for good.  The image will no longer be available as of F-15 and newer.  Preupgrade will need to be adjusted accordingly.  I'll be happy to fiddle with some patches once F-15 test images are available.

I have some concerns on how best to handle the situation of limited disk space in /boot since the initrd.img now contains *both* loader and stage2.

For discussions on this feature see https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2010-August/msg00020.html

Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2011-01-21 14:12:55 UTC
Sure, it kinda complicates the small /boot case, although I'm not overly bothered with just saying to the user "sorry, you can't do that" given we've defaulted to lvm and a larger boot for some time now.

Ping me when there's a test compose tree and I'll see what breaks. Thanks.

Adding to F15Beta so we don't forget that this impacts the F15Beta release criteria (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_15_Beta_Release_Criteria).

Test composes are coming online now and are available from http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/

lazy-fix.patch

A quick'n'dirty lazy patch to address this problem.

less-lazy-fix.patch

A slightly less lazy fix.  I've tested both fixes and they work ... but I'm sure there is a more appropriate and preferred way to add support.  Note, these patches only fix preupgrade-gtk.py.

I've applied this after removing the added error message. There's nothing the user can do about a missing stage2 in F15+, so we don't need to tell them anything.

Thanks,

Richard.

Do you need me to also patch the preupgrade-cli.py version?  If you can point me to the patch accepted, I'll be happy to provide a -cli version.

Comment 7 Richard Hughes 2011-03-09 09:48:07 UTC
That would be most appreciated, thanks.

Discussed at 2011-03-11 blocker review meeting. This is a clear blocker under criterion "The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually".

Tested patch.  Note, this patch also removes data/releases.txt from the git repository.  I suspect a corresponding preupgrade.spec change will be needed if this portion of the patch is accepted?

Discussed at the 2011-03-25 blocker review meeting. We note that we had the Test Day and it seems to have been 'successful' as far as this issue is concerned. Can the updated preupgrade be submitted as an update now?

Comment 13 He Rui 2011-03-31 09:18:15 UTC
So far we are testing upgrading to F15 beta, please submit preupgrade-1.1.9-1 in comment#11 as an update asap.

Comment 15 He Rui 2011-04-07 05:02:58 UTC
Verified the updates worked as expected. Thanks, James.

Nice work, thanks Hurry and Richard!

Comment 17 Adam Williamson 2011-04-11 15:16:06 UTC
the update's gone stable in the two releases where it's critical atm, it'll go stable in f15 when freeze is listed: closing.
