Guest Born2freedom Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 I am trying to upgrade from MDK 10.1 to LE2005. Get the message failed to install kernel kernel-2.6.11.6mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm followed by a load of further failures. I am now left with a hybrid installation in which many apps fail. I have tried redownloading and burning the Installation CD1 (MD5 and burn have been verified. This same PC also exhibited same error on 10.2 RC2, even on a clean install. This is an old Pentium II not a Centrino processor. 10.1 official worked perfectly apart from the same USB shortfalls seen by all. Any thoughts appreciated.

kristi Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Just a thought - a clean install of 2005LE. Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 For my upgrade I did the following: Add urpmi mirrors for main, contrib, updates, plf-free, plf-nonfree, jpackage. In the GUI, went to updates, selected Normal/Bug Fixes/Security, and highlighted all downloads. After this completed, installed latest kernel-2.6.11 and kernel-source. Then I rebooted, and all came up OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Born2freedom Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Problem solved. The solution was simple in the end, use Text based install, not the GUI based install. Thanks to all who replied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
