So far I've had very good luck with preupgrade for 12 to 14 and 13 to 14 systems. There's one annoyance that is causing me some headache. I have a couple of systems that are headless and remote that I'd like to do a preupgrade on but I can't seem to get things started without some local keyboard interaction.
I need let preupgrade and/or anaconda know that it's supposed to use eth0 (some systems have more than one NIC). And I need to specify the language and keyboard layouts from within preupgrade and or the grub entry that launches the upgrade. Currently I run preupgrade and then manually tweak /boot/grub/grub.conf to load the 14 installer automatically with a vnc session waiting for a connection. But this only happens after I locally tell the system to use English, a US keyboard and (sometimes) eth0. It's causing me to hold off on upgrading some systems until I can prove that I can get the 14 installer to launch all the way into the VNC session being ready with no local interaction necessary. -- * Stephen Berg * * sb...@mississippi.com * * Sinners can repent, * * But stupid is forever. * -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
