Forum,
To free up enough space to upgrade to f18, I decided to shrink the swap space and extend the root:
swapoff -v /dev/vg_nk47/lv_swap
lvreduce /dev/vg_nk47/lv_swap -L 4096M
lvextend --size +4096M /dev/vg_nk47/lv_root
resize2fs
When booting up, I get the grub menu and then see the bootup feedback. Then it looks like it's trying to start the desktop, but I only get the busy icon on a blank screen. I figured f18 was still installing, so I let it spin all night. Nothing. The good news is if I bootup with a liveCD, I can still see all my data.
Anyone know how to resolve this?
Regards,
Noel
