I followed the command line instructions in this guide and ran the following commands:



sudo dnf upgrade --refresh 
sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=26


After running sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot I selected the most recent Fedora option from GRUB (or rather let it automatically select it): Fedora (4.12.13-200.fc25.x86_64) 25 (Workstation Edition)



Doing this I get a few errors like this and it fails to boot at all:



[ 0.959745] ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20170303/psargs-364)
[ 0.959856] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [_SN.PCI0-SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff97e80e170e60), AE_NOT_FOUND (20170303/psparse-543)


I've tried googling these errors but have not had much luck finding similar cases.



I can boot into bash by adding init=/bin/bash to the boot script and the disk Fedora is installed on seems to work fine there.

    It's odd that the most recent available kernel is a F25 kernel after update, not an F26 one.

  • I thought so too, but the guide does mention this: "With the dnf-plugin-system-upgrade package, your system reboots into the current kernel installed for Fedora 25; this is normal." Also note that this is during the upgrade. It has not yet completed since the upgrade should happen once the OS is loaded.

  • Oh, yes -- sorry, I didn't realize it had failed that early.

  • I'm not sure those errors are really the problem. Are there any other messages?

  • No, just more errors like the second one I wrote down. Do you have any tips for debugging this further? I can get to bash, so I can probably read some logs. Just not sure where to look.
