Greetings;
I killed x trying to make this )*(&%$ video card work so I put the f10 dvd in and updated it to F10.
Two immediate problems.
- Grub must have miss-fired, all I get is the grub shell and I have to enter
all the boot data line by line in order to boot. Is that a fresh grub- install?
---- that hasn't been a commonly reported problem with F10 but after you boot up, have you run 'grub-install /dev/sda' to ensure that grub is properly installed? What does /boot/grub/grub.conf look like? ----
- Yum wants to update 435 packages, but many dependencies stop it. What is
the f10 procedure to bring that up to speed now?
---- you probably have some packages that have to be manually removed that are blocking the update.
You probably want to check out this page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq even if you used the DVD or preupgrade to install the update as this has a lot of information useful like 'clean stuff' section and various issues going from like 8=>9 or 9=>10
