Hi, I'm a beginner to Linux. I installed Fedora v.7 a couple months back on a Dell desktop (dual boot with WinXP). I am trying to upgrade to the latest version now and having some problems. I tried to upgrade to Fedora v 10 using yum update, but get the following error: "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: anaconda-upgrade-install".

I tried to upgrade from Fedora 8 to Fedora 12, but after preupgrade got everything ready I rebooted. Anaconda searched for storage devices and then said "No upgrade root found". What can i do to continue the upgrade manually?

I was trying to update Fedora 14>15 via PreUpgrade. Anaconda was running fine, then after around 2000 upgrade items, it got stuck on the line at the bottom of the photo: "org.freedesktop.ModemManager". This repeats continuously, so I rebooted, but got a kernel panic when I tried to boot back into the old Fedora version (14).

I also tried a rescue boot from DVD, and that failed.

My PC is dual-boot, F16 and Ubuntu 12.04. Although I mainly run Fedora, Ubuntu's grub2 was automatically placed in my MBR when I did the upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04.

I recently ran preupgrade to upgrade from F16 to F17. When I tried to boot anaconda, the only Fedora entry in my grub2 menu was "Upgrade to Fedora 16 (Verne)".

hi,

i'm having issues with upgrading from fedora 16 to fedora 17.

I use "preupgrade" to do the update. When executing this command, at some point, after downloading the packages for the new release, fedora reboots and does the rest of the installation.

Folks:

I'm re-posting his thread since the thread that contains a question similar to mine has been marked as solved. I just recently installed Xubuntu PPC on my iMac 800 G4 . . . got "sudo" back working last night, so I ran "sudo update/upgrade/dist-upgrade" . . . and the Console came back with one package to upgrade, but three "held back" . . .
