During upgrade from mga4 to mga 5 I run in an infinit loop when upgrad one(1) package so I have to interupt the upgrade. I took a chance an tried to boot and it succeed.
Then I discovered that I still run kernel 3.14.43-desktop-1.mga4 (uname -a)
I then search the directory /boot/grub and there discover that initrd-3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5.img is missing.
There is one row with red text that blinks:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 jun 20 12:59 initrd-desktop.img -> initrd-3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5.img

under that line are these lines:

Code: Select all

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       33 maj 24 06:23 initrd.img -> initrd-3.14.43-desktop-1.mga4.img
-rw------- 1 root root  8357369 maj 24 06:23 initrd.img.old

I can't find the img-file in the repository. (MCC
My question is:
How do I create/get/install initrd-3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5.img ?

After a few bootings the boot.log contains:

Code: Select all

$ more boot.log

You could create it as root via

Code: Select all

dracut initrd-3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5.img 3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5

but better way would be to uninstall and reinstall that particular kernel as your description makes me wonder which packages have not been successfully installed.

Thank you for your advice. I uninstall the kernel and install it again but there have to be som more errors so after reinstall the kernel I couldn't get the gui work.
The solution was to do a new "clean" installation.
That installation succeeded.
