Upgrade/Update Fedora 16 to 17

Today, I upgrade my fedora 16 to 17 on my laptop Fujitsu SH561.
There is some note about updating process.

1. Dump or back up your data first to ensure you can recover when issue occurred.

2. Get root permission
 
    # yum update
    # yum clean all
    # yum install preupgrade
    # preupgrade

After you make command "preupgrade", GUI upgrade GUI program will lead you finish upgrade process.
Or your can do this command by CLI.

# preupgrade-cli "Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)"

(It will take a period of long time and reboot your OS, be patient)



3. Edit grub configuration

Checking your config has parameter with Fedora (3.3.X-X.fc17.x86_64)

# vi /boot/grub2/grub.cfg 

If not, copy last update fedora 16 kernel parameter to edit.
(3.3.X-X.fc16.x86_64 = >3.3.X-X.fc17.x86_64)

Make sure your kernel including Fedora (3.3.X-X.fc17.x86_64)

# ls -l /boot/
initramfs-3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64.img
vmlinuz-3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64


4. Install Nvidia driver

After new kernel booting, I got error message.
" libfcoe_device_notification netdev_unregister lo "
So I install Nvidia driver.

# ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.33.run
# reboot

Finally, I have finished my OS upgrade from Fedora 16 to 17.
