[lug] Upgrading from FC3 to FC5

[Hugh Brown]

I'd do a fresh install and then restore the necessary pieces that you have
on the backup you made before beginning this upgrade ;)

Otherwise, I'd try and back up what you can from the current system and
then do a fresh install.

If you want to troubleshoot for learning's sake:
I'd switch it to boot to runlevel 3 and look for the default.xml file in
the theme for gdm (right now the  themes on RHEL 4.4 (because no one
remembers RH 4.x from before) live in /usr/share/themes).

I'm guessing that openvpn was compiled by hand against the old openssl
libraries, so you'll need to recompile that.

Ditto for apache.

The final error though makes me suspicious that your hard drive has some
corruption or is starting to flake.

You might try forcing a fsck on all the partitions.
