I have tried unsuccessfully to upgrade from RH 6.0 -> 6.1 using both FTP and HTTP. Both fail at the same location, right after the stage where the installer rebuilds the RPM database. I am using the UPDATED network boot disk. Here is the error message: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 225, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 1000, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 572, in __call__ if todo.doInstall (): File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/todo.py", line 1465, in doInstall self.instLog = open(self.instPath + logname, "w+") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/sysimage/tmp/upgrade.log'
My guess is that you have the /tmp directory symlinked to a different location and this is causing problems with the installer. The install program is only able to follow relative symlinks, so I am guessing this is an absolute symlink that you have. Converting it to a relative link will solve the problem. Reopen this bug if your problems are not solved by changing to a relative symlink.
