To anyone trying to upgrade from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15, DON'T EVEN TRY!!! I've just tried and have had numerous problems, finally resulting in being unable to boot up any kernel version at all, using inittab mode 1,3, or 5. In view of this it appears I will have to reinstall Fedora 14.
You failed to mention what update/upgrade method you used....
the Subject: yum update
to recover try: 1: boot from dvd\bootcd.
rescue installed system when ready:
yum --releasever=15 distro-sync --skip-broken
If only yum worked after booting from a rescue DVD.
I tried updating using yum in stages, (yumex actually using networkmanager). Unfortunately this eventually crippled networkmanager, and inittab 5 boot. The later I got round by creating a desktop file to and started gui from inittab 3, (to KDE).
I have updated using this method from Fedora 10 -> 14 successfully. As Fedora 8 -> 10 was KDE 3 -> 4 I did a fresh install.
Currently akmod builds fail on boot, and it eventually hangs. I've tried a variety of boot options to no avail.
