Tried Fedora 9 DVD to update only "boot loader" options alone, but in vain 8. Tried option "Upgrade", system prompted "Your swap (/dev/sdb3) is full having details of previous suspended data, do you wish to format " 9. Choose the format option and continued update to make system up. 10. Now when ever the system startup, getting some errors with meaning "unable to recover, unmounting old /dev/ .. so on " Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Could you try to reformat your swap partition after the system booted? Also, the /var/log/messages with the boot messages would be interesting. Other than that is your swap partition large enough to save your whole memory? Thanks & regards, Phil
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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
