Just upgraded my SMP box from 9.1RC1 -> Bamboo. It failed. Spectacularly - unable to boot as a result of a crash while upgrading the kernel package!
The problem was my root partition - I had quite a bunch of kernels in there (my fault, I need to spring clean more often). The machine has 1GB of memory, so the default install peels off the "normal" kernel, SMP and Enterprise. I think DrakX needs to check more carefully the available space - If I was a non-hacker type user and had upgraded 8.2->9->9.1->... then it is quite likely I'd accumulate a *lot* of old kernels.. I think any recent Windows refugee would find this pretty disturbing (Grub loaded the bootstrap, but couldn't find the initrd in my case). This was actually easy for me to recover, of course. When I cleaned up and re-applied the "upgrade", it only gave me the option to upgrade from Dolphin, BTW. So a broken 9.0/9.1/9.1RC1 system looks like 8.2 to DrakX! Cheers /Kevin -- Kevin J.
