I'm sorry parts of the "trace dump" are in Swedish. The installer stop's just before start of upgrade. This is the message, saved to floppy: Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1526, in doInstall self.instLog = open(self.instLogName, "w+") IOError: [Errno 2] Filen eller katalogen finns inte: '/mnt/sysimage/tmp/upgrade.log' #[Errno 2] File or catalog does not exist: Local variables in innermost frame: arch: i386 total: 120 msg: Filen existerar #msg: File exists logname: /tmp/upgrade.log i: /etc/X11 p: zlib l: [anacron, apmd, ash, at, authconfig, basesystem, bash, bc, bdflush, bzip2, chkconfig, console-tools, cpio, cracklib, cracklib-dicts, crontabs, cyrus-sasl, db1, db2, db3, dev, dhcpcd, diffutils, e2fsprogs, ed, eject, file, filesystem, fileutils, findutils, gawk, gdbm, glib, glibc, gmp, gnupg, gpm, grep, groff, gzip, hdparm, info, initscripts, isapnptools, kbdconfig, kernel, kernel-pcmcia-cs, kernel-utils, krb5-libs, kudzu, less, libstdc++, libtermcap, lilo, linuxconf, logrotate, losetup, mailcap, mailx, MAKEDEV, man, mingetty, mkbootdisk, mkinitrd, mktemp, modutils, mount, mouseconfig, ncompress, ncurses, net-tools, newt, ntsysv, openldap, openssl, pam, passwd, pciutils, perl, popt, procmail, procps, psmisc, pump, pwdb, quota, raidtools, readline, redhat-logos, redhat-release, rootfiles, rpm, rpm-build, sash, sed, sendmail, setserial, setup, setuptool, sh-utils, shadow-utils, slang, slocate, stat, sysklogd, SysVinit, tar, termcap, textutils, time, timeconfig, tmpwatch, utempter, util-linux, vim-common, vim-minimal, vixie-cron, which, words, zlib] db: <rpmdb object at 85263d8> self: <todo.ToDo instance at 84a15e8> how: u errno: 17 totalSize: 200264 f: <closed file '/mnt/sysimage/etc/mtab', mode 'w+' at 9002ba8> ts: <rpmtrans object at 928a840> ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
Does /tmp happen to be a symlink on the system you are upgrading?
Sorry for my late reply. Yes, /tmp is a symlink. I'll will alter it to an ordinary directory /Mats
With /tmp as an ordinary directory all worked fine. Thank's
We have a RFE to handle this better in the future, linking to it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 13071 ***
