Description J. David Rye 2008-02-20 19:45:34 UTC
Description of problem:

I have been so far unable to upgrade a HP Proliant DL3600 G5 to Fedora 9 Alpha
I wanted to test something that needs the 2.6.24.xx kernel.

At the start the system was running Fedora 8 64 bit with out any problem.

Boot from the DVD iso image, select graphical. system dies just after mesage
about detecting graphics card/display.

Boot from the DVD iso image, select text mode. Configure key board etc, select
upgrade. System runs through usual options up to the point where it should start
installing bits to the hard drive and then complains that it is missing an RPM.

Boot from the DVD iso image, select text mode. Configure keyboard etc, select
fresh install, configure partitions and leave package selection at default.
System runs through usual options up to the point where it should start
installing bits to the hard drive and then complains that it is missing an RPM.

fresh install, configure partitions and deselect all optional packages. System

Boot from live CD, system dies as per graphicle installer. 

Boot from live CD, select grub options, set run level 3, system boots and I can
log in.

Appologies if I am posting this in the wrong place.

With the live CD booted in text mode is there any way of manualy installing the
system to the hard disk?

Can you please attach any exception reports, log files, or syslog files to this
bug report that you are getting?  These can be found in /tmp/anacdump.txt,
/tmp/anaconda.log, and /tmp/syslog.

Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to

information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not
reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the
reporter's distribution.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest
update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be
reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional

Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
