hi,

I've been trying to upgrade from FC2 on my main workstation a Celeron 2.4Ghz
with 512 Mb and 1 IDE 80 Gig drive. But no luck, it looks for FC
installations and finds nothing !? On it's older 'brother' a dual PIII with
512+ Mb a 40 Gig IDE, a 20 Gig IDE and 1 4 Gig SCSI drive, a SCSI CD reader
and writer and finally a IDE CD writer  it detects FC2 just fine and offers
an upgrade.

Just thought lets mention all that hardware to point out lots of hardware
doesn't seem to be the problem ;) Here's the layout on the Celeron:

hda:
/dev/hda1               1         786     6313513+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2             787        6180    43327305    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda3   *        6181        7455    10241437+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda4            7456        9733    18298035    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda5             787        3336    20482812   83  Linux
/dev/hda6            3337        3973     5116671   83  Linux
/dev/hda7            3974        4104     1052226   82  Linux wisselgeheugen
/dev/hda8            4105        6180    16675438+   7  HPFS/NTFS

Now I do use hda7 as a crypto device on the fly. However I did try to use it
as a normal swap device to see if that was the problem, guess not. I did
update yum/apt/up2dat to FC3, could that be the problem?

Furthermore I my Linux root device is not the boot device, but I guess Windows
XP won't be able to boot if I change that. And I really need that to
succesfully burn cd's I'm afraight :/ Just in case I have to wait for all my
yum channels  to update to FC3, at the moment I'm only waiting for fedora.us:

Does anybody know how to write cd's with FC2: with kernel 2.6.8 k3b/cdrecord
doesn't write at all due to Linus's patch and 2.6.7 writing is really really
unreliable. And speaking of cdwriting how is this with FC3?

TIA,
