[rhn-users] Cannot upgrade from RH7.2 to RH9

["Date, Shashank" <Shashank Date connect xerox com>]

folks, 
    Could not solve the problem, in this weekend.
    RH9 literature mentions 2 things about upgrading to RH9:

    1. /etc/redhat-release should contain default value of the 
	current redhat release.
	My redhat-release contains:        
				   Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma)
 	> rpm -q --what-provides redhat-release     
   			returns      redhat-release-7.2-1

	Does anyone see any problems with this??
          
   2. ximian gnome should be removed and may be if needed installed
	after RH9 is installed.
	The command:   >rpm -qa | grep ximian  returns nothing,
			  therefore good sign for my RH7 gnome.
			> rpm -qi gnome-core    retunrns RedHat as vendor
				therefore good news.
   What is going on?  RH9 refuses to upgrade.
	According to upgrade instructions, after mouse check, 
	the display should be for "Upgrade Examine Screen"
	Instead I get fresh install screen.
	I have grub for the loader.

   My FINAL OBJECTIVE: dual-boot : install Windows XP Pro after RH9 is done.
  HELP IS APPRECIATED.
 thnx.
