First off, during the system check, the installer comes back and says it can’t save the install.img file in /boot (/dev/sda1) because the partition is too small. Then after I’ve had preupgrade-cli download all the files and rebooted the system, I get a msg saying:
“The following file systems for your system were not unmounted cleanly. Please boot your installation, let the file systems be checked and shut down cleanly to upgrade. (/dev/sda1)”
Since that initial attempt I’ve done a number of things:
- After I restart F12, I fsck’d that partition to eliminate any disk issues.
- I cleared out the /boot/upgrade and /var/cache/yum/* directories
- I ran preupgrade instead of preupgrade-cli – multiple times.
- I've also fsck'd the partition and left it unmounted before I rebooted
- Finally I've use the DVD for upgrade but I got the same "not unmounted cleanly" msg after I designated a system disk.
And of course none of that worked.
My partitions are the following (without the cached contents):
