Hi Joe,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your note.<br>
<br>
I think the main thing to note here is that the instructions you're
looking at aren't necessarily geared towards EC2 - EC2 has some
subtle differences (including around grub) that may be making these
instructions slightly incompatible for upgrading from F16 to F17 on
EC2. <br>
<br>
As you probably saw, the notes say that F17 isn't out yet - and
that's still the case, of course. We're expecting F17 Alpha to land
next week on Tuesday (barring any unforeseen delays), and I expect
that we'll be uploading the F17 Alpha to EC2 as well. <br>
<br>
In the interim, a few notes to everyone on list:<br>
<br>
* Can someone more technical than me (that would be most readers of
this list, teehee) give a slightly better explanation or etc. as to
what might be going on here for Joe?<br>
<br>
* Could someone perhaps look into the page referenced
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_16_-.3E_Fedora_17">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_16_-.3E_Fedora_17</a>
) and seeing about (a) if those steps *should* be compatible with
EC2, and (b) if not, figure out if we should have some sort of note
on there saying "this doesn't apply to EC2, please go $here ... and
(c) figure out the $here part? :D<br>
