All,
Yesterday I bought the Standard Edition of RH 6.1 in order to upgrade my 6.0
installation, however, when I attempted to upgrade, I got an error regarding
mounting. After going to RH's web site I see that there is an issue with
the installer that comes with RH6.1 if there is an NTFS partition on the
system (which in my case, I DO have an NTFS partition). So I go ahead and
download the new boot .img and the updates .img files (upgrading from
CD-ROM). The instructions on the web page says to boot from the new .img
file and at the boot: prompt, to type "linux updates". I do this and it
starts loading vmlinuz and then it finishes, and the system starts booting,
however, when it gets to "running /sbin/loader", the CD is accessed, and
then it stops and nothing else happens. I do not get prompted to insert the
updates disk or anything - just hangs there!
Now, if I boot with the same disk, and DO NOT type in "linux updates", it
proceeds to boot just fine, passing the part where it got hung up ("running
/sbin/loader") before, BUT, obviously, I still have the same issue with
regards to the NTFS partition, so I am stuck presently.
Has anyone had any issues like this? I do have RH 6.0 installed, and since
RH 4.2, I have been upgrading without ANY issues, and this is the first time
I have had an actual upgrade issue with Red Hat's distribution. I hope I
can get some feedback from you before I decide to blow away the NTFS
partition, and then trying again (although from what I see on Usenet, there
are quite a few problems with the installation of RH 6.1).
Again, any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advanced...
Rafael
