Hello list, Recently our opteron crashed and lost its filesystem, so i decided to install suse 9.0 instead of the old 8.2 it was still running. Unfortunatly only an 8.2 cd could boot the system, all the 9.0 boot-cd's hung at one point or another. So I decided to do a network install (i shared the 9.0 dvd with ftp from my laptop). Because i wanted to install 9.0 i pointed the installer to the ftp containing the 9.0 dvd. All went well, and the system is working fine again. But i cant use the online update. It is saying i'm running a 8.2 installation, so i used yast to upgrade it to 9.0 (from the same location as from where i installed it). This went well again, but still you says that im running a 8.2 install and tries to look for updates in the wrong ftp-dir. How do I tell yast that im running a 9.0 install and make him look in the right directory. -kees

Something similar happened to me when I upgraded our server from 8.0 to 8.2. Check /var/adm/YaST/IS_CACHE_0x00000001/DESCRIPTION/description IIRC. Changing this fixed it for me. Or maybe it was /var/adm/YaST/ProdDB/prod_00000001 -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Hello, Thanks for the advice, it almost worked ;) You now sees that he has a 9.0 install to work with, but unfortunatly every patch it downloads gives an error: ERROR(You:RPM has invalid signature.) I tried to copy stuff from /var/adm/Yast/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x0..01/ (also tried 0x0...02) but still a nogo. Is there a command to yast to regenerate those files, or to update them to reflect the correct version of Suse? -kees On Friday 27 February 2004 00:52, Joe Morris (NTM) wrote:

How can I fix this? Where does it looks up this signature, and why is it invalid?
