Preupgrade hangs for me on an amd 64bit machine as soon as anaconda blanks the screen. Better today than two days ago. Now I get a character cursur. Yesterday I got a blank screen.
Anaconda still fails on this machine for preupgrade (maybe the problem is the geforce 6100) Any hints as what to look for so that I can file a bug report? Alternatively, is it possible to force the upgrade into text mode?
Yeap, use preupgrade-cli. And also file a bug, but provide full X.org log and dmesg if possible.
I think that you might have misunderstood me. Preugrade, the application, is working fine. Anaconda is crashing/halting/whatever. Anyway, I tried what you suggested, but there wasn't any difference.
- Can Anaconda be put into text mode for preupgrade (i.e., how do I
change the grub.conf entry) 2) Where are any Anaconda messages going to be recorded?
What kind of video card do you have? If you have a radeon you might try adding "radeon.modeset=0" to the preupgrade kernel line. I had this same problem and it took 3 tries to get the upgrade to finish until I added that option.
