Question FC2 upgrade queries

Dear All,

I have upgraded my FC1 installation to FC2 with the yum methodology outlined in the forums. This seemed to work fine after resolving a couple of dependcies until the very end when I got the error message below. Possibly - after a bit of searching - this may be to do with the upgrading of Python.

However, running uname -r now gives me 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl, which would seem to suggest that something is not right. grub.conf does show a 2.6 kernel so I'm not too sure what's up.

Could any of you experts possibly give me a bit of guidance? It would be much appreciated.

Toby.

I maybe should also add that I get a load of errors when starting X, presumably these might be related?

Well, the latest is that I commented out all the old lines from grub.conf which seems to have led to various problems all over the place and much breakedness.

Looks like the only option might be to format and reinstall Fed C2 from CD...?
