Description denis 2000-01-07 11:43:11 UTC
I tested a RHL6.1 upgrade with the RHL6.1 Boot CD
I have /, /home mirrored on 2 disks (Raid1) when I first installed the
system from the CD, using the Graphic version of your installer (disk
druid) :

The problem is :

I selected a "Upgrade", but the installer doesn't detect the partitions :
scsi controller : aic7xxx

May be including the raid1 (and others) module in the upgrade process will
fix this. (or include a fdisk whith recocgnize the 0xfd partition flag).

Hope this helps

Configuration :

assign to installer

Comment 2 Jay Turner 2000-02-14 13:53:59 UTC
RAID upgrades are not support in release 6.1, so that is why you are seeing
problems.  Try the latest installer that is available in beta and you should be
able to upgrade using that code.
