Description Doug Laidlaw 2011-05-02 03:33:45 CEST

Description of problem:
Overall, upgrade from Mandriva 2010.2 was straightforward.  Issues:
On trying to update before rebooting, bad MD5SUMS reported on a couple of repositories: no doubt temporary.

Mandriva had NVidia driver from backports.  To get a screen, I had to edit xorg.conf to call the nouveau driver.
The "Before rebooting" files didn't exist, and /root/log still not found.

"dkms status" gave 
dkms.conf: Error! No 'DEST_MODULE_LOCATION' directive specified.
dkms.conf: Error! No 'PACKAGE_NAME' directive specified.
dkms.conf: Error! No 'PACKAGE_VERSION' directive specified.

Command $ 'reflect' unknown.

No sound, but that was there before.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

One of the MDSUM sources was Core.  Now downloading 487 packages.  I see that an nvidia driver is available.  I should have updated first.  Mandriva packages were too numerous to list.

Just a report on how an upgrade from Mandriva went.  Now history.  I have found that upgrades from one version of Mandriva to the next aren't as clean as a fresh install.  Mageia had enough differences to require installation from scratch as well.  I am now running Mageia 1 installed from the DVD, with the odd Mandriva RPM where Mageia doesn't have one yet.
