PLEASE BE CAREFUL
"yum update --releasever=18" is NOT enough for a clean dist-upgrade
I know, it was followed by yum distro-sync.
so do not post it this way because you lead people follow you
you have SURELY not upgraded to F17 this way because UsrMove
That was done by following the special instructions, at the time of F16 > F17 dracut --add usrmove (iirc)
so please do not strip out such essential informations
as also you have for 16->17 to deal with the rpmdb and update rpm BEFORE the dist-upgrade
and if you look a little bit closer you see that "yum update" is simply wrong _______________________________________
here again the steps F16->F17 so that anybody can see that there may be IMPORTANT differences for each version
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_16_-.3E_Fedo...
- remove “ro” (read only) - append “rw” (read write) to let dracut mount your root filesystem writeable - remove “rhgb” (Red Hat graphical boot) to disable the graphical bootsplash - append “rd.info” to get a more verbose output from dracut - append “rd.convertfs” to enable the /usr-move conversion script in dracut - append “enforcing=0” to disable SELinux enforcement
* reboot * let UsrMove do it's work * make sure the UsrMove-params are removed from grub.conf if set there
