Newest Snapshot broke system
-
Update: I don't know why, but I have 2 pieces 4 Giga CF and one 2 Giga CF. With one of the 4 Giga CF I have the same problem as written here. the other works well and I write the image allways the same way. The one which don't works is an slc type.

Same for me,
Everything halted. Maybe I need to do a fresh install?Somewhat disappointed..
I was somewhat disappointed at first also, but lets look at the big picture, these are release candidate snapshots. Not full out tested stable releases. If this is going on a production or 'must be in service' system, maybe the update should of been tested first via vmware? or maybe you should just be using a known 'STABLE' release, instead of basically bleeding edge. I was surprised though, that the live cd rescue config option did not work either. Hopefully people had backups in place. Lessons learned for everyone, should be common practice, backups & testing before putting into production!!
Any another note, does anyone have word on what the issue was? Has it been corrected in the most recent snapshots?
-
From the liveCD, one should be able to mount the hard drive and copy the config.xml even if the console "rescue config.xml" fails, as I did (and then I found my backup :P). Or was that a problem for some?
A backup /conf/config.xml on an inserted thumbdrive is a great way to reinstall in case of calamity on a PC system. Does that work with CF as well (assuming you have an usb port)?
Some of the *.inc scripts in /etc/inc of the failed update were quite different from those present once I got back up. So I suspect there were changes under the hood that turned into trip wires…

Not sure, as I am sitting tight on the fresh working install. As Slam hinted, there may have been a difference between updates and fresh installs, ie. a problem with the updates….

No, for me it is not fixed at the moment, I have updated last night with a recent snapshot and it breaks my system.
Wait and take a look in the repository für 1.2x…....

Is it safe to upgrade?

Just an update, it appears all is good now. Just updated:
New version: Sun Jul 12 04:51:52 EDT 2009
Current version: 1.2.3-RC21.2.3-RC2
built on Sun Jul 12 01:54:58 EDT 2009No issues what so ever, or errors. All seems good. Wonder if the issues had to do with the full file system on the snapshot server??
