Description of problem: Upgrading FC1 system with 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 kernel already installed (and a 2.4 kernel also installed) to FC2test2, on first bootup GRUB fails to start FC2test2 installed kernel because grub.conf lists the initrd image for 2.4 kernel with the 2.6 kernel entry. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda shipped How reproducible: easily Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC1. 2. Install kernel 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 in addition to the FC1 2.4 kernel (i.e. use rpm -i to install 2.6 and do not remove 2.4). 3. Boot from FC2test2 CD1 and upgrade the existing FC1 system. Actual results: On the first bootup, GRUB can not find the file initrd-2.4.22-1.21xx.nptl.img This is because the grub.conf files reads: title Fedora Core (2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 .... initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl.img Expected results: GRUB should be loading the initrd-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1.img file that comes with the 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 kernel. Additional info: Using GRUB's editing feature, I changed the initrd line to the correct value and the system booted perfectly. Next, I corrected t eerror in the grub.conf file.
Were you using lvm?
No, I was not using LVM.
Does this work right with the final FC2?
I need to test it. I will do so later this week.
