Hello!
Just thought I'd present this problem for comment/help/hints:
* want to upgrade from Fedora Core 11 to 13 * I have a 64-bit system with Vista as a host o/s, running VMWare, and FC11 as a client o/s * cloned my FC11 as a backup * ran preupgrade, got expected problem with 200MB /boot, but preupgrade said that it could continue downloading (presumably to the larger partition) so I did * preupgrade told me to reboot, so I did * began upgrade process; ran Test. First oddity: Test said it was testing media for FC10 , but test passed. * Problem#1: after test finished, upgrade wanted me to install a disk. There is no such disk -- preupgrade put the upgrade information mostly into /boot, I presume. * had to shutdown the upgrade process * rebooted (I figured I'd try skipping the test this time) * Problem#2: not running upgrade, instead just does a normal boot into FC11
In inspecting /boot, I see a fair amount of upgrade info there. The help for this indicates that I should be using grub to select the upgrade; there is no grub since FC is running as a virtual machine client.
At this point I'm considering downloading FC13, writing DVDs, and doing a new virtual client. I was hoping to avoid all that, especially as my FC11 has never recognized the DVD writer drive, so I'll end up having to do it from another machine.
