+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #592345 +++ A preupgrade-cli upgrade fails when stage2 needs a download. Note the diff between lines 226 and 235. # egrep -n "(ks|repo|stage2)=" /usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-cli.py 220: extra_args += " ks=%s" % self.generate_kickstart(extra_cmds=self.kickstart_cmds) 226: extra_args += " stage2=%s" % bootdevpath 235: extra_args += "stage2=" + stage2url 293: # Add repo=PATH to boot commandline 295: extra_args = "repo=%s %s" % (repopath, extra_args)
I can confirm this preupgrade-cli failure because of lacking space before 'stage2=' in grub. The graphical preupgrade works fine.
I confirm the missing space issue in preupgrade-cli, too.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/preupgrade-1.1.8-1.fc12.1 has been pushed to stable ... I'm closing this out
