I retried, but let it sit there with the blinking cursor while cleaning the house. After a loooong time it finally popped up a graphical installer.
All log files seem to have started at the moment the system woke up, so it seems like it 'just' needs a long time loading the initram or something like that? Right now it's sitting in the installer waiting for me to select disk. Is there anything I should check?
Restart the upgrade with some options?
I think you should wait a while until preupgrade-1.1.5 is out, it fixes some more errors that may have influenced your upgrade process: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572148 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575400
I installed 1.1.5 from updates-testing and tried again.
Previously, anaconda stopped and asked which disk to upgrade on after the boot. It doesn't do that anymore, so it was too late to stop the upgrade process. I have not had a chance to test the end result.
The hang was still there. After preupgrade did its job and rebooted, I got the black screen with the blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner as before. This time I got to time it, and after exactly 20 minutes it started X and did the upgrade.
Are there any log files or commands that would be interesting in order to determine where the problem is?
On your upgraded system, you can remove "rhgb quiet" from the boot arguments, this should allow a closer look at what might be causing the slow boot. Additionally, there should be a /var/log/boot.log file for inspection after you've booted. Any hints there?
I have no problems booting the upgraded system. It seems like it is only the anaconda/f13 upgrade boot that consistently would hang for 20 minutes.
All of the /var/log/anaconda.* log files start at the moment the system got unstuck after the 20 minute hang. No help there.
This system is a 2.8GHz P4 system with only 512MB RAM.
The only issue I have had so far after the upgrade is a small evolution problem with my imap account.
