Description of problem:
I was on disc 3 of upgrading a 7.1 RH to 7.3 when a crash occurred.  It is on 
an Intel 933mhz box.  I don't know which specific ix86 platform was installed. 
I had selected to custom add packages that had not been installed yet on 
version 7.1, including anaconda.  I had noticed anaconda somehow was not shown 
listed as being a package that would be updated automaticlly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Didn't try


Additional info:

Luckily, I am not worried about recovering the install.  I will delete the 
partion and do a fresh install.  I am just a hobbyist.  I had to fdisk /mbr to 
remove LILO.

Please see the attachment.

Do you know what the contents of your lilo.conf were prior to upgrade (should be
saved as /etc/lilo.conf.rpmsave)?  I think this is fixed in our current
codebase, but I want to double-check with the config file.
Comment 3 troy 2002-08-22 21:34:53 UTC 
Sorry, I don't know the exact details.  I can only tell you I had updated some 
of the misc. 7.1 rpm's, but I don't think I had upgraded the original 7.1 
kernel version itself.  I believe the only change I made to lilo.conf from the 
original 7.1 install was to change the default boot from RH to MSwindows.
  I have all ready deleted the partition in order to do a fresh 7.3 install.  
I had had a 7.1 rescue boot disk around somewhere, but it may not have been 
100% up to date to the time of the 7.3 install crash. Again, sorry.  I don't 
know but some info that may be of use about the system may be stored on my RHN 
profile, system ID# 1000212180 (HPPAV933}
Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2002-08-29 06:02:50 UTC 
This should be fixed since we handle boot loader upgrades slightly differently
in the current tree (yet again)
