That's saying that RedHat/base/hdlist doesn't exist -- what type of hard drive upgrade is this (iso or tree)?
tree and the tree is located in the root partition of the base 6.2 install. and, yes, hdlist is there hard drive is an ide (although there is a Adaptec scsi controller in the system with no drives attached) Case replicates readily on this machine. Haven't tried others (there are not many machines round here that can take a 6.2 install).
further testing reveals that this bug is confined to hd-tree upgrades from 6.2 where the tree is located on the root partition to be upgraded. In particular, - hd-iso works whether the isos are located on the root partition or a separate one. - hd-tree works if the tree is located on its own partition
Also observed with similar upgrade from 7.2.
hdtree is dead
