boot hangs after fedora 21 upgrade to 22
I have a fedora 21 workstation in a virtual box. I installed all updates, rebooted, ran fedup --network 22
(which finished with a warning about the firwall package having a dependency problem). I rebootet as instructed, it installed all the new packages. Then at some point after it seems to be finished installing things, the boot screen with the usual messages appears, but then it stops, and the messages only flash for a split second, then the screen is black. It flashes again, then black ... forever. Resetting and rebooting yields the same result, also with the old kernels.
Of course I took a snapshot bevor the procedure, so I can start all over again. How can I get my virtual workstation to fedora 22 without a fresh install?
EDIT
After the suggestions below, I tried using fedora-upgrade
, which failed because of the aforementioned dependency failure of a firewall config file. I ended up using yum
with --skip-broken
, which did the upgrade. But then after reboot I still had the same flashing screen. Hitting Ctrl Alt F3 produced a console login screen, but still flashing. This brought me to try logging into the box via ssh, which works. I also upgraded VirtualBox to its latest release (5.0.2), which did not help.
Also, virtualbox modules seem to be loaded:
[root@fedorabox ~]# lsmod |grep -i vbox
vboxsf 45056 2
vboxvideo 16384 0
drm 331776 2 vboxvideo
vboxguest 245760 2 vboxsf
So I have ssh access to the box, but no graphic login. Any suggestions?
EDIT 2 [deleted as not helpfull]
EDIT 3 I finally managed an upgrade going from f21 to f23 directly, using
dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23
dnf system-upgrade reboot
When that happen did you try to enter to a terminal with ctl+alt+f3 ?
