Description of problem: Just did a fresh install on an 64-bit opteron system with F8 to check out preupgrade. Everything works great until I get to the downloading boot stage (stage2) and then preupgrade dies with a trace. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.3-3.FC8 How reproducible:Every time. GUI and CLI versions. Steps to Reproduce: 1.CLean F8 install. 2.Yum update to latest packages. 3.run Preupgrade. Actual results:I get this: [root@waterrock ~]# Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 198, in on_assistant_apply self._do_main() File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 206, in _do_main self.main_preupgrade() File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 371, in main_preupgrade (mdev,mpath) = preupgrade.bootpath_to_anacondapath(stage2_abs) TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable Expected results: preupgrade should have continued. It's my first time using it, so I can't say for certain what the next step should have been. Additional info:Let me know what other info I can provide.
This was due to preupgrade being unable to determine what physical device your /boot partition was on. Where was your /boot partition? Is it on a RAID device or something similar? preupgrade-0.9.8 (in the updates-testing repo) might handle this better. I'm guessing you've already upgraded to Fedora 9 by now, but I'd like to make sure systems like yours will be able to make the transition to Fedora 10.
That could be the problem, it's actually on a hardware SATA RAID1 array, it's just a couple of hardware mirrored 250GB drives in a dual proc box. Nothing special. I wouldn't have expected HW RAID to have that trouble, but you guys are the experts. Next upgrade (F10) I'll give it a shot and see how it works.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
