Re: preupgrade

[Adam Pribyl <pribyl lowlevel cz>]

I just tried the preupgrade on F9-PR installed on 6GB disk and it 
actually failed due to that /boot is too small to download the image 
there. There is otherwise only one kernel and initrd.. default anaconda 
sizing for /boot.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                      4.7G  2.5G  2.3G  53% /
/dev/sda1             190M  128M   54M  71% /boot

item_fname)
preupgrade.PUError: insufficient space in /boot/upgrade to download 
minstg2.img

Then it just sits on the screen with "Downloading installer stage 2" doing 
nothing.

I hope on bigger harddrives the /boot is aslo bigger, but the preupgrade 
should check if there is sufficient space anyway.
