tryed the preupgrade f16->f17 it ended with a message unable to write for grub menu ...
so does grub2 is necessary and if it is does anyone have the upgrade procedure for grub to grub2
Grub2 is necessary considering the fact that grub-legacy is abandoned by the upstream.
I 'm not aware of any special upgrade procedure. preupgrade must do it.
I had Grub1 on my Fedora 15 partition, and used to boot from that. I wanted to get rid of the F15 partition just after F17 came out, so I simply installed Grub2 on the F16 partition before wiping the old F15. Easy.
So I am now booting with the F16 Grub2, but with F17 as the default. No big deal.
Finaly i solved my grub problem
But i'm stuck with a yum bug, stupid duplicate package
So i decided to start from scratch with a f17 fresh install
And reinstall my oracle and mysql database and the web server
I hope my next upgrade will go better
