For the record, I didn't say my system didn't have enough room on /boot. I didn't receive any memory warnings or errors while running pre upgrade prior to rebooting, so I don't think that is the case. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription option

Commenting those lines out causes the F14 (non upgrade) kernel to run, thus preventing the upgrade from completing. Which is what I am trying to achieve. In case its been missed, I'm trying to upgrade from F14 to F15. On 8/27/11, panicloop wrote: > On 08/28/2011 01:00 AM, linux guy wrote: >> H

My computer will not boot the F15 kernel after doing a preupgrade. Nothing happens when the boot process usually starts running. Not a single line of startup is displayed on the screen. This happens both if I run preupgrade or preupgrade-cli. Everything seems to go fine during the preupgrade p
