fc6 to fc7 errors

[.:neogeo:.]

Hi all

I have been trying to update from fc6 to fc7 and I think I am almost there... I have the following errors. I have done the usual yum clean all, yum update, yum clean all (again ), then yum upgrade, then yum updgrade kernel and now I have this ....

yum -y upgrade kernel

I cannot see in boot any new kernel images, can someone point me in the correct direction. I also have these three packages that where not able to be updgraded.

Hey Guys,

I have been reading all about the "dont upgrade from fc6 to fedora7" but I did it anyway and now after NASH starts i get ata1:00 exceptions blah blah.

I know that Fedora 7 replaces the old IDE subsystem with libata etc... my question is how do I now fix my box?

Could someone point me to the correct links?

This is what I have done so far, these are already labeled

cat /etc/fstab

My fdisk to me seems wrong, from what I read I am supposed to have something like /dev/sda or something not /dev/hda ... but how do I fix this?? I have an ST-3200826A (Barracuda 7200.8 PATA 200, Ultra ATA/100 HDD.
