Upgrading to FC6, off a hard disk partition. Text install goes
without
error, until the Package Installation screen appears. There's a popup:
"starting install process. This may take several minutes..."
That was 36 hours ago!
No disk access lights flashing.
This is a slow old machine 400mz, 128meg ram, but it runs fc5.
Any suggestions?
Move the disk to a more modern machine, do a clean install there.
Update to current pkgs via yum update, then move the disk back to that
old system. This is what I had to do when I installed FC6 onto a very
old PPRO-150 w. 128Meg dram. The machine was way too old to be able
to boot off of a CDROM, DVD or USB flash stick.
