Mostly a dupe of bug 76947. You will want to use redhat-config-packages to handle an existing installation. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 76947 *** In what way is this a dupe of bug 76947? That bug is about how an upgrade fouled up the boot loader. This is about how the install/upgrade disks don't let you install over an existing install. And redhat-config-packages only works if a) it is installed and b) you can use X and c) I don't think installing a boot loader should be a part of redhat-config-packages, whereas it already is part of the installer. BTW what does redhat-config-kickstart do? I can't tell because I can't run X. It is a dupe because the other bug is about the fact that you are not given a chance to rewrite a bootloader if you do an upgrade and the kernel is not installed (because you're running it on an upgraded system). If you installed such a stripped down system you cannot run our userland tools then you're only option is to reinstall or do it manually. If you would like to open a bug against redhat-config-packages that it should have a text-mode interface that might address your concerns. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 76947 *** |
