RH6.1 CD upgrade utility unable to open/recognise SCSI disk NT partition
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:53 EDT
Have fully SCSI system. Disk 1 - SDA1=WNT, SDA2=W95, SDA5=Linux ext2 main partition, SDA6=FAT, SDA7, 8, 9=Linux swap Disk2 - SDB1 = FAT, SDB5, 6, 7 = FAT CD = SCSI Load/boot redhat 6.1 install CD. Select GUI install. 'Upgrade'. Get error about cannot-find/bad-parameter-to SDA1. Get dialog box about system searching for a red hat install, but system is frozen at that point. Sorry I did not write down the exact error, email me if you want me to do it again. Upshot is unable to upgrade using the upgrade tool. jcherryh@ozemail.com.au
After leaving machine overnight and rebooting, problem went away. Maybe the disks were tired...
