Re: F8 - upgrading impossible

Hi,

I wonder how F8 ever made it to a release.
I tried upgrading 3 systems and 3 fail to upgrade due to installer issues.

/sbin/loader issue (can be solved with some kernel options but it's needed on
all my systems which is a bit of strange default).

The worst though is a CPU usage of 100% at checking dependencies.

Is there any solution available for this ?
Reinstall is no solution to me, I'm looking for a way to upgrade via DVD.

regards,
Marcel


Same result here: 3 systems, all three hang at about 26% complete while
"resolving dependencies." I let all three run for 24 hours. Lots of
disk activity, but no progress. I've seen quite a few folks posting
that they've run into this.

I don't have time (especially after losing a day) to dig into the code
and fix it myself, so I'm sticking with F7 for awhile.
