F8 install hangs @ dependency check

mrclisdue · 11-09-2007, 04:34 PM

alt+F3 reveals that the hang occurs with: "no package match to remove"

any workarounds?

Um, a little more detail please? What are you doing? What command are you entering?

Um, as far as detail, that's about it - the installation starts, I'm upgrading from F7; using F8 iso on dvd; I boot dvd, enter all the relevant info, then early in the install process (text install), it shows that it's checking dependencies, and hangs @ 26%. After leaving it for 3 hours, I see that there's no progress, and an <Alt>F3 shows that it has stopped with the message: "no package match to remove."

I've run the media test, and the media is fine.

try the live run disc and install from there?

I've considered and tried that, but it won't upgrade - rather it'll do a fresh install...I *really* would rather not....

Perhaps a *yum* upgrade....

cheers,

The DVD install hangs at '/sbin/loader' for me. I tried 'yum upgrade' and it complains about a couple of my media codecs (that F7 keeps prompting me to upgrade but I refuse because it breaks them).
