[ale] Final - Upgrade Has Caused A Downgrade!

[Gene Poole]

This is my final status.

I downloaded and burned a copy of Fedora 9 Unity Re-Spin and had the same 
type of failures, but here's what I learned:
I like to and always define individual volume groups for my file systems 
and for this system I had created the following under Fedora 8, osvg00 
(contains /(root), /usr, /home, etc.); datavg00 (for my 'sharable' data), 
etc. With all of the releases up to Fedora 9 I never had a problem doing 
this during the install. By doing multiple install attempts using Fedora 9 
x86_64, I noticed that when I got lazy and didn't define the LV for any 
file system other than the OS required, it proceeded all the way to what 
appeared to be the final packages.
Fedora 9 i386 installed completely even with all the custom file systems 
defined (just for install testing only)
Fedora 9 x86_64 installed as long as I allowed the default file system 
structure to be in effect.

My final solution was to do a fully customized install of Fedora 10 
x86_64, which included Oracle 11gR1 database, a customized Apache, 
Eclipse, Joomla, and Tomcat.  All went perfectly without a hitch or issue. 
Also, looking back on some old notes, I noticed that I had not done 
anything but a upgrade since I had to do a full install when I converted 
to SATA disk drives. This was the first real upgrade in 2+ years!

So thanks to all who gave advice and direction!  For documentation I used 
a combination of the ISPConfig 'The Perfect Server' and 'Fedora 10 - 
Personal Installation Guide' from www.mjmwired.net and last but not least, 
'Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) Installation on Fedora 10 (F10)' 
from www.oracle-base.com. 

Thanks,
Gene
