[lug] Upgrading KRUD

[Elyse M. Grasso]

My server is running KRUD 6.0. When I try to upgrade to use the RedHat 
installation program on the 6.1 CD-Rom to upgrade, it puts up a message 
window about 
"Error mounting extf2 file system hda6
illegal value"
(this is not surprising, since hda6 is an OS/2 HPFS partition, not a Linux 
partition.)

After I dismiss the message box, it puts up a message about scanning for 
previous Red Hat installations and hangs. (I left it overnight in case it was 
just being slow.)

I use the OS/2 boot manager and can boot to Dos/Win3.1, OS/2 Warp, or Linux.
There is one IDE hard drive and one SCSI hard drive in the system

The 6.0 Linux mount table looks like

/dev/sda5	/
/dev/hda4	/boot
/dev/sda8	/usr
/dev/sda10	/var
/dev/hda3	/dosc
/dev/hda5	/dosd

and there are a couple of HPFS partitions on the SCSI drive in addtion to the i
one on the IDE. There is an empty space at the end of the IDE drive because it has too many cylinders.

I would rather not strip the OS/2 partitions off the disk yet. (The 2.4 kernel 
will supposedly be able to read them, which would make salvaging the stuff I 
want to salvage much more convenient.)

I don't think Boot Manager is causing the trouble, but I'm not sure if the hang 
is happening on the IDE drive (because of the HPFS partition or the blank space)
or at the transition from the IDE to the SCSI drive. E: is mostly the swap  and spool space for OS/2, so I may shuffle things around a little and see if 
switching it to FAT improves things. (Thank goodness for Partition Magic)

Is there documentation anywhere on how to do the full Upgrade using 
RPM?
