Fedora Core 3 upgrade

Posted Sun, 12/12/2004 - 12:17 by metarobert
I have an old HP Vectra 233Mhz PC that I've kept around to experiment on. I've had Fedora Core 2 on it for a while, and decided to upgrade it to Fedora Core 3. I'd run 3 under a PC emulator for a while and decided it appeared useable on my experimental box. I used the Up2Date GUI, which automatically listed Fedora Core 3. Ouch. It won't boot. I get past the Grub bootloader but stop at the line "RedHat Nash version 3.5.22 starting" and .. then .... nothing ....... I guess I'll do a little research before giving in and doing a fresh install. After all, it is bleeding edge, and I'm running on near-junk.

I've since realized that

I've since realized that Up2date should not have shown the FC3 updates. I must have messed up the Up2Date source configuration, which then updated my packages as instructed, which was bad since I was still on FC2. Argh.
