Wow, at least there's a workaround. Thanks for this heads-up. :-)

I just want to ask, have you successfully upgraded your FC6 64bit to FC7 64bit without re-configuring several setup, for example Web Servers and Databases. Thanks!

Conflicts will bomb out your procedure. Then proceed with, #rpm -Uvh \ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-notes-7.0.0-1.noarch.rpm #rpm -Uvh \ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-7-3.noarch.rpm After the 2 steps above, the procedure I follow is to do, #yum -y update kernel (instead of yum -y upgrade). Then an extra step namely, reboot linux to the updated kernel and do #yum -y update Then, manually restore what ever repos you have in your /etc/yum.repos.d.orig and run this again #yum -y update When you 'yum -y upgrade' without updating and rebooting to kernel FC7 you'd get many conflicting systems modules that will not resolve and hence will bomb out your upgrade procedure. Hope this helps.
