Upgrading to Fedora 8
Upgrading from Fedora Core 6 to Fedora 8, Anaconda got stuck checking dependencies.
Here is the bug.
This fixed it:
- At the first screen, hit ESC to get to the boot: prompt then type the following:
linux updates=http://katzj.fedoraproject.org/updates-f8-yumloop.img ip=dhcp
RAID
After rebooting got:
mdadm: /dev/md1 not identified in config file
This was because only my first RAID device (/dev/md0) was listed in /etc/mdadm.conf.
To fix:
- Boot to rescue mode then
chroot /mnt/sysimage mdadm --detail /dev/md1 > /tmp/mdadm.out emacs /etc/mdadm.conf
- Add a new ARRAY line for /dev/md1 using the information from /tmp/mdadm.out
- Remake the initrd:
mv /boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img /boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img.old mkinitd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img 2.6.23.1-42.fc8
- Reboot!
