Another did not switch kernels and had to yum indstall it All but one where single o/s machine, one was lib-virt kvm image and it upgraded fine.<br>

Hi, all.<br>
<br>
I've been away for some weeks & am now back so I'm looking at<br>
possibilities for upgrading 17 -> 18 seeing as 17 will be EOL in around<br>
eight to ten weeks.<br>
<br>
After the initial problems with FedUp, I read last night over on<br>
Bugzilla about its progress & the latest testing (which looks like it's<br>
going to go stable next week) is looking pretty solid.<br>
<br>
So the question is, is everybody been happy with the upgrade process via<br>
FedUp lately?<br>

<br>
No. I gave up on it after it failed miserably on a couple of test<br>
upgrades in the early phases of f18. May-be it has seen improvements<br>
since then, but I didn't look back at it, since then, because I found<br>
the procedures outlined on<br>

Specifically at this link, there's a link to a wonderful script<br>
which does the tedious work of getting you from F17-> F18:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/xsuchy/fedora-upgrade" target="_blank">https://github.com/xsuchy/<u></u>fedora-upgrade</a><br>
<br>
It's in the fine-print there beginning with the words "A small script..."<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

so far worked reliably.<br>

<br>
Thanks to everybody for their answers.<br>
<br>
Just for the sake of reporting any findings to Bugzilla, I'll attempt<br>
another upgrade via FedUp in a VM but I think I'll upgrade the machine<br>
in question using yum.<br>
<br>
It's a shame. I went from 12 sequentially through to 17 using preupgrade<br>
without a single hitch.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
