Problems updating to 10 from 8... [SOLVED]

[afdiaz]

Hello!...

It's my first post in FEDORA community. I'm really happy to use FEDORA in my workstation. However; I've some problems upgrading to version 10 from version 8.

My workstation is certified by RedHat. It's a HP xw6600 with double processor Intel Xeon 5405 2.00 12M/133 QC and graphic card for dual screen Nvidia Quadro NVS 290 PCle.

In my OS library I found version 8 to install. It has been installed successfully! However; I've read about advantages for workstation on version 10. Thus, I've downloaded Fedora ISO ver.10 and I've tried to install it in my WS. Here I found a problem: Just in the moment it try to start anaconda, the screen remain black.

After three failed intents, I have tried to upgrade my version through the 'yum':

# yum -y update
# yum install preupgrade
# preupgrade

It ran perfectly till anaconda try to run again.

Then, I've tried to upgrade to ver.9 from ver.8 and I getting the same problem.

I've downloaded the Live CD and that is blocked as well. Of course, I've installed all drivers of my WS before upgrade but I get the same problem.

So... How I can fix this problem?... I really need move to version 10.

Ah!... I've tried to install beta version 11 but after one hour I get a error messages due at a bug

I'll appreciate your help in this matter.

Thank you.

Hi...

I've found the problem: The Nvidia NVS 290 GraphCard has only one connector with a dual cable. The screen cannot display input to 1280x1024@60HZ. So, I've change it by an ASUS EN7300GT and version 10 x86_64 has been installed successfully.

Anyway, thank you!
