Of those that responded no one had any problems performing the upgrade.
One person suggested, if possible to always do a full installation which
I have to agree with based upon the problems that I have encountered trying
to do an upgrade.
I tried to upgrade a 3000/400 and I ran into the same identical problem when
I tried to upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0 on a 3000/400 and a 3000/800. I spent two
days with DEC support upon the failure to go from 2.0 to 3.0. This time when
the upgrade failed I only spent 1/2 day with DEC support before I abandon hope
and just ran the full install without any problems.
I still have to upgrade some 3000/800's and a 2100. If anyone can shed some
light on the following problem I would be most grateful. The following problem
occurs during the kernel rebuilding process:
