F12 --> F14 upgrade unsuccessful

[Andrew Jamison]

I have heard if you plan to upgrade in this manner it is best to upgrade from f12 to f13 then from 13 - 14 due to the rapid change in technologies from f12 to f14 but again this just what I have heard not sure if this is actually the case

Subject: F12 --> F14 upgrade unsuccessful

All,

I’m working on upgrading my Amahi 5/F12 install to Amahi 6.1/F14 and I’m running into an issue.

First off, during the system check, the installer comes back and says it can’t save the install.img file in /boot (/dev/sda1) because the partition is too small. Then after I’ve had preupgrade-cli download all the files and rebooted the system, I get a msg saying:

“The following file systems for your system were not unmounted cleanly. 
Please
boot your installation, let the file systems be checked and shut down cleanly to upgrade. (/dev/sda1)”

Since that initial attempt I’ve done a number of things:

- After I restart F12, I fsck’d that partition to eliminate any disk issues.
- I cleared out the /boot/upgrade and /var/cache/yum/* directories
- I ran preupgrade instead of preupgrade-cli – multiple times.

And of course none of that worked.

My partitions are the following (without the cached contents):

$ df -k
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_server0-lv_root
                      70718880   5496076  61630408   9% /
tmpfs                  1996752         0   1996752   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1               198337     24044    164053  13% /boot
/dev/sdb1            480720592 200074260 256227056  44% /var/hda
/dev/sdc1            480720592 400633476  55667840  88% /mnt/sdc1

I hope someone can provide me with a clue...
