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