Help! I had a solid redhat 7 box running as a web server. I tried to install redhat 7.1 upgrade on this machine (I have done it on 2 other with out a single hitch.) half way through the installer just hangs! I try it again and this time it won't even run at all It can run the graphic installer anymore) I start the machien up and it starts to work. the propt now tells me it is running redhat 7.1 with the 7.0 kernal. When I try to run pine or anything that depends on the libc6 file they won't run (pine, ssh, etc). The box will run apache and mysql with out any trouble but I really need to get ths running either as a strait 7 box or a strait 7.1. I can not afford to format the had and start all over from scratch though. Please advise.
Thank you,
Ben

...okay I know you backed up everything - right? anyway, this has ONLY happened to me when I had crappy media or a dirty CD-rom drive. you may also be able to install new RPMs and do a piece meal upgrade.
Good luck!
