Re: Corrupted file on iso installer image of XFS 1.2

[Jenny Williams <jenny_williams@xxxxxxx>]

I've tried the following:

Upgrade 7.3/xfs 1.1 to 8.0/xfs 1.2 with the v.2 ISO image.  Except for the 
question of whether I was building a new system or upgraded I chose all the 
default settings.  This scenario worked just fine with only one exception - 
lilo did not run as part of the installation so the machine rebooted 
however it was using the prior 7.3/xfs 1.1 kernel and none of the modules 
loaded.  Easy enough to fix, however something that might be frustrating.

I have one cosmetic note - the installer I know on the v.1 disk, not sure 
about the v.2 disk - prompts for Disk 6 - I was tired and grumpy by this 
point so it took some time for it to sink in that this means the SGI XFS 
1.2 for RH disk.


Thanks so much for putting the effort into this.  LOVE xfs.
