[SOLVED] Upgrade from 9 to 10

**slimx3m** · 02-09-2009

i just recently upgrade my fedora box from 9 to 10 and it was unsuccessful

. however upgrading from 8 to 9 it worked at that time. well anyways......... i am receiving two problem and one of the problem that is when it checks for a file system.

....
Checking filesystems
Fedora-8-Live-i6: clean ... blocks /boot: clean ... fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=....' [FAILED]

*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave for maintenance.
....

then i get either hit control-d to continue or type my root password to fix it. if i hit control-d it will take me to the desktop and i get login.......... but everything is all screwup. windows won't load properly, fonts are not clear, and others.

if somebody could please guide me i would appreciate it.

thnx in advance.

if you edit fstab change the UUID= part of each drive to use the actual device and partition it is, like /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb2, etc, whatever it actually corresponds to

i did exactly as you told me and i really thought that it was going to work. when i was going to save the file it gave me an error that the file is "Read-Only." so what i did was research a little bit to find more information about this item. i found that i should be able to edit the file using Fedora Rescue CD. and i thought... wait a minute, i do have F-Rescue CD, so i ran "linux rescue" went through everything until i get the hash and nothing!!! i tried to mount the drive and it said that it was busy and i couldn't get my HD to open so i could edit /etc/fstab.

any ideas?!

go back to where you could open the file at all, but open it as root, or use sudo command, you need root access to save file

the weirdest part is that when i am a root in fixing the filesystem i am not able to save it, no matter what. and then whenever i tried with the rescue option out of the CD i am still not able to mount my drive.

boot up with a live cd and mount partition manually, then edit the file, you should be able to do it with any live cd

i'll try to mount it manually, i tried to mount it with ubuntu but alli got was "/boot" and nothing else.

thank you, i'll keep you posted.

Boot from LiveCD and post the output of this

Code:

sudo fdisk -l

ok.... so i did boot up from the live CD but... now this is freaking weird........ i mount the drive where my fedora installation is and all i get is a "/boot". when i do a "list" all i get are like files for the upgrade. i get no main files from my hard drive, just that boot file with the "upgrade packages".

when i do a "fdisk -l" using the LiveCD i get no output..... but when i do it with the linux rescue or fixing the systemfiles i do get an output of all my HD's.

any thoughts?!

Which Distro's LiveCD are you using? You must have root privileges to execute fdisk command.
Try one of these :

Code:

su -
/sbin/fdisk -l

Or

Code:

sudo fdisk -l
