Description of problem: On a stock-installed Fedora 16 system, updated, I try to use preupgrade-cli to upgrade to Fedora 17. However, near first stage completion, preupgrade-cli says: Saving Primary metadata Saving file lists metadata Saving other metadata Generating sqlite DBs Sqlite DBs complete Preparing system to boot into installer DEBUG /sbin/grubby --title="Upgrade to Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)" --remove-kernel="/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz" --add-kernel="/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz" --initrd="/boot/upgrade/initrd.img" --args="preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade ks=hd:UUID=65880117-f553-438f-a685-daa0b9f43551:/upgrade/ks.cfg stage2=hd:UUID=65880117-f553-438f-a685-daa0b9f43551:/upgrade/squashfs.img" sh: /sbin/grub: No such file or directory /bin/echo: eroare de scriere: Broken pipe All finished. The upgrade will begin when you reboot. and no upgrade is started after reboot. Please note errors on the /sbin/grub and /bin/echo lines. I've noted that paths reported by grubby are different from those used in previous Fedora versions. grub2 is installed by default, not grub... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): preupgrade-1.1.10-1.fc16.noarch grub2-1.99-13.fc16.3.i686 kernel-3.3.7-1.fc16.i686 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a F16 system, do "preupgrade-cli "Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)" " 2. When the first stage is done, reboot. Actual results: No F16 -> F17 upgrade is performed. Expected results: Upgrade should start and perform normally. Regards, Răzvan
Same here, on x86_64 (non-EFI). Upgrade item does not get added into Grub2 menu at all.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
