Today I tried to upgrade from fc34 to fc36.
Downloading the package was okay. Problems occur when I agreed to
system-upgrade-reboot:
What exact commands did you run?
1- No display... I could only dee the led showing HDD accesses
Did it reboot to the grub menu. There should be some sort of progress
indicator if it's working.
2- After sometimes (when no more accesses were showed, I press enter
key
on the keyboard and the system rebooted on fc34 kernel and still no
display...
3- I pressed the "y" key on the the keyboard (in case the system upgrade
was asking some question...) and the display came (hurray!) : I could
see the login screen of the fc36 version. I could login but all my
previous display settings were gone....
These interactions don't make any sense. There should be no interaction
at all.
4- I checked the kernel with command uname -r and it is stille the
fc34
kernel which running... No f36 packages have been installed in /boot....
5- many packages from fc34 remain installed and only some fc36 packages
have been installed.
What can I do to have a coherent fc36 install now?
As someone else already mentioned, at this point it would be much easier
to do a fresh install of F38. Backup your /home just in case (you
should have backups anyway) and install F38 on the existing partition.
