ummm ... during the RH 7.2 public Beta phase, I tested upgrades from RH 5.0 forward (although not with dual boot hosts) on a mixture of IDE and SCSI without relevant incident. There were issues with a direct jump from a RH 4.2 box. I would consider a recovery floppy boot into single user mode, and editting the /etc/fstab to modify the references to ext2, rather than ext3 (this is harmless, and allowed me to get a clean fsck on a hosed partially converted partition) Also, an unformatted mountpoint really confuses the initscripts. Proof-read twice each, and if possible, boot froma known good minimal install on another drive, and use 'fdisk' to confirm that you've not munged up /etc/fstab. The sysadmin's recovery ISO burned onto a mini-CD makes this last simple. -- Russ Herrold _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
