With F18, we've moved to a simpler upgrade process that does not involve anaconda in the least. We're using a tool called fedup now that takes the place of preupgrade, and then uses regular system tools to do the upgrade itself. With anaconda no longer involved, this bug report should no longer be relevant. |
Created attachment 607238 [details] The report file generated by anaconda Description of problem: When trying to upgrade a Fedora 16 installation to Fedora 17 using the CD image named Fedora-17-x86_64-netinst.iso, the installation fails right after the point where I choose to upgrade an existing installation instead of installing a new one. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Unknown, but it is the version of anaconda that is shipped with the mention CD image. How reproducible: Always reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the computer in question from the Fedora 17 install CD 2. After anaconda has scanned the existing volumes and found the existing Fedora 16 installation, choose to upgrade it. Actual results: Anaconda shows an error message, gives the user the option to report that error and then quits. Expected results: Anaconda should upgrade the existing installation to Fedora 17, then reboot. Additional info: This machine has a not entirely trivial partition layout, using MD and LVM: /dev/md0 is a RAID 1 device containing an LVM VG, which in turn contains LVs for /, /var, swap, and /var/run /dev/md1 is another RAID 1 device, and is directly mounted under /mondata /dev/sda5 contains a btrfs filesystem and is mounted under /osddata/osd.0 /dev/sdb5 contains an ext4 fs and is mounted under /nfsexport
