I just tried update FC2 -> FC3T2 and pretty much destroyed my FC2.
I have 2 parallel IDE drives, hda,hdb
I have 2 SATA drives, sda,sdb. The SATA are setup for LVM2, and were
working on FC2.
I tried to update to FC3T2. I did not want to mess up my working install on
SATA, so I copied the file system to hdb2 (ext3).
I went to update. It correctly found 2 installations - the LVM one and the
one on hdb2. I selected hdb2.
It proceeded to write to SATA.
No errors were produced, but the system would not boot. Just a grub prompt.
I tried to rescue, using grub-install. Only managed to get a grub menu, but
then messages about not being able to find any volume groups. No clue why
that was.
Finally, I gave up and did a re-install over the SATA. Now it's working
again.
