I found that /etc/sysconfig/network got overwritten and loses the hostname.
/etc/yum.repos.d/ files did not get updated correctly, wrong repos left enabled.
some of the stuff in /etc/sysconfig/networking/ gets scrambled
there is a small thread in fedora-list about some of this. (me and Nat Gross)

What ones did it leave enabled vs disabled?
-sv
It left the FC4 repos enabled *and* the new development repos enabled, lots of confusion.

Had you modified the FC4 repo files?

Here is an exact dump of my yum update process. Each time yum failed, I simply disabled that repo, and tried again. Until, with 2 repos left enabled it worked.

ALSO, nfs clients from this server cannot read the nfs mounted dirs. Although /etc/exports was not changed, and I exported them again from the fc5t3 machine.
Also, my external usb 2.0 drive needs some coaxing to work. It has 3 partitions, and they show up differently on the Gnome desktop upon every boot, and dont show up at all on the kde desktop. It does some weird stuff when unmounting via the gui. But I'll wait after the yum update is complete to verify again.
Otherwise, pretty cool. Sorry, the list of goodies is too long to list!

After the yum update, this is working ok. BUT, upon logging in (after reboot) I had a nice note on my Gnome desktop that the network connection was lost. I ignored the message. The lan IS working.

This is still the same. Although, the files are there, the names of the mounts just change in the browser, appear and dissappear from the desktop, things like that. -nat

Part of the problem (not the entire problem) is that FC4 had created 'usbdisk1' 2 & 3 in /media, wheras FC5 labels em ''disk-1". I deleted the [empty] usbdisk folders. Maybe it will help clear things up a bit. -nat
