I finally decided to update my main home computer to F18.
It was F16 so I had to use preupgrade to go to F17. After
several reboots it is up, sort-of, on the F16 kernel. I have
had the following problems.
1) Preupgrade crashed due to moodle -- removed and update proceeded.
2) After update, I still saw option for update to F17 in Grub and none of
the
other kernels would boot (other than dracut errors). I did the F17
update
again and it seemed to fix Grub. However....
3) I now have options for:
3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64
-- booting this sends me to a command prompt in dracut
3.6.11-1.fc16.x86_64
-- this boots but has issues
I am currently running the mostly-updated system with the F16 kernel
3.6.11-1.fc16.x86_64. I can not run YUM so I can't even attempt
to try going to F18 (unless I manually get the RPMs...).
Any idea on how I can fix YUM?
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)
# yum update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: fedora/16/x86_64.
Please verify its path and try again
Any idea how I can fix grub to boot into the F17 kernel?
Should I just punt and load F18 (keeping my partitions /home, /data, etc.)?
I have several other computers I plan on updating this weekend. I may just
have
to reload each of them....
Thanks,
