I have been using fedora since fedora 4 with great satisfaction. I tried to do an fc12 to
fc13 preupgrade. All went fine until I was running anaconda ( I believe) with the
install.img. I got a pop-up that said the swap device has not been created and that "
The /etc/fstab on your upgrade partition does not reference a valid swap device" When
I click OK the system reboots and the upgrade fails.
I have checked my swaps in the fc12 system and they seem OK, Top shows the swap
partitions are there " I actually have three swap partition on two different drives.
I checked the swaps in fstab on fc12 using findfs and they seem OK, UIIDs and /dev
entries. I suspect that the upgrade partition it refers to is in the install.img.
I have another partition with fc13, on which I used preupgrade to upgrade
from fc12 It was a very smooth procedure. That kind of rules out hard drive problems.
Unless something changed.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix fstab, or what the problem might be?
Also, is there a way to undo the preupgrade attempt, so I can try again?
Any other suggestions will be welcome.
