I did an upgrade from 6.1 to 7.0 I used a cd from your web site -- iso image. I asked to install what was needed to satisfy package dependencies. On rebooting, at startup, it says: starting syslogger...and freezes. After a long time out it says [failed] then locks up on mounting SMB files. I had another version of 6.1 on an old slow disk and I am able to start it and look at the 7.0 info: /tmp/upgrade.log is full of "/usr/lib/*** not found" Also there are broken symlinks in /usr/lib This does not seem to be a duplicate of other install bugs.
Created attachment 5059 [details] /tmp/upgrade.log
Created attachment 5060 [details] result of "ls -oc" in the bad /usr/lib directory
What would we need to do to reproduce this problem?
Created attachment 5143 [details] contents of /var/spool/up2date
Created attachment 5144 [details] the last /var/log/dmesg
Created attachment 5145 [details] /var/log/messages
I think that the problem relates to the state of the system before I tried the upgrade. I had upgraded to some RH6.2 programs and even I think, a 7.0 program or 2. I used update agent and ftp sites. Try setting up a 6.1 sys updated with the updates I have in /var/spool/up2date and see if you can reproduce it.
Passed to QA to reproduce.
hmmm ... I could not reproduce your problem ... With a 6.1 Workstation install, I updated to the following packages (the closest subset of your list that was easily available) ... after the upgrade, I was able to boot into the 7.0 system, didn't freeze @ starting the system logger ... apache-1.3.14-2.6.2.i386.rpm glibc-2.1.3-21.i386.rpm gmc-4.5.40-2.i386.rpm gnumeric-0.38-8.i386.rpm gpm-1.19.3-0.6.x.i386.rpm gpm-devel-1.19.3-0.6.x.i386.rpm groff-1.15-1.i386.rpm groff-gxditview-1.15-1.i386.rpm gtop-1.0.5-1.i386.rpm libghttp-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm libtiff-3.5.4-1.i386.rpm libxml-1.7.3-1.i386.rpm libxml-devel-1.7.3-1.i386.rpm nmh-1.0.3-6x.i386.rpm pam-0.72-20.i386.rpm perl-5.00503-12.i386.rpm samba-2.0.7-4.i386.rpm samba-client-2.0.7-4.i386.rpm samba-common-2.0.7-4.i386.rpm sysklogd-1.3.31-17.i386.rpm SysVinit-2.78-5.i386.rpm wu-ftpd-2.6.0-14.6x.i386.rpm please reopen if you have any other info you can provide to help reproduce this ... thanks for your report!
