hello,
I was going to put this under the Fedora distro list but I have a feeling it might be a more general grub related issue.
would appreciate some guidance please on this issue if possible.
Performed preupgrade from f15 to f16 on a toshiba satellite pro laptop.
All seemed to go fine and the system rebooted.
Looks like the new shell is running as it gave me a new looking login prompt and screen background.
However then I checked the kernel and saw that the f15 kernel version was actually running.
I then rebooted and saw that "Upgrade to fedare16 (verne) was an option on the boot list along with the older linux kernels and windows xp.
But it has defaulted to the latest f15 kernel I had.
I then tried the f16 verne and immediately got:
Error 15 : File not found
Press any key to continue
and it gives back the grub menu list with the options again.
Here is the grub menu list:
Code:
cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

I have read a number of issues related to this but I;m nowhere near solving.
The error makes sense in that I guess its looking for
kernel /upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade ks=hd:UUID=117ae55c-20d6-4fe7-af15-5c96853839b6:/upgrade/ks.cfg
initrd /upgrade/initrd.img
but I could not find them on my system after the preupgrade.
Would really appreciate some guidance.
thanks.
