Hi all,
Just bought (yes really - full boxed version) RH 7.2 to upgrade my server
here at work. I thought I'd run a test upgrade first so I installed 5.2
(same as the 'real' machine) on a spare HP vectra. The test system was
properly installed and bootable, no errors on the disks. But when I try to
boot up from the 7.2 install CD to run the upgrade, after selecting my
keyboard and mouse, then telling it to upgrade, I get the error message:
You don't have any Linux partitions. You can't
upgrade this system.
If I switch consoles and run fdisk, it sees all the partitions!
Anybody any ideas how to resolve this? I've tried the RH website but
nothing jumps out. I've also activated my support and logged a call with
them, but I thought I'd see if anybody here has come across this.
