===Upgrading f20 installs with yum to f21===

*Dennis Gilmore 09/24/2024 IRC

"I have updated a few machines by running "yum --releasever=21 install

fedora-release" then "yum distro-sync" and not had any issues. As I

understand this thread it is soley about what to do in the case of

using fedup only. in which case we need to setup some things in

mirrormanager and do some testing and see what happens. note that we

may not be able to use the fedora-install-21 prefix as the install

trees all have a prefix already assigned"

"The root filesystem used by the kernel is specified in the boot configuration file, as always.

The traditional root=/dev/hda1 style device specification is allowed.

If a label is used, as in root=LABEL=rootPart the initrd will search all available devices for an ext2 or ext3 filesystem with the appropriate label,

and mount that device as the root filesystem. root=UUID=uuidnumber will mount the partition with that UUID as the root filesystem."
