<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Johnny A. Solbu at 14/08/12 04:20 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> I haven't updated my cauldron in about two months or so. Mostly
</I>&gt;<i> because of a few threads warning not to update because of new this
</I>&gt;<i> and that which would reasult in crashing KDE or the like.
</I>
There is a slight chicken and egg problem at the moment, but what you
see here is expected. After you do the conversion you will likely get
stuck with the more serious issue of not actually being able to update
rpm to a version that understands the new check added to the filesystem
package without also updating the filesystem package!

Basically:

 1. install the latest dracut
 2. install the latest kernel
 3. reboot and make sure all is well.
 4. regenerate initrd as per instructions
 5. reboot with kernel command line params and convert the fs
 6. try an install the new rpm package. It will likely fail due to
trying to also pull in the new filesystem package as part of the same
transaction.
 7. If it fails, double check that the files /bin /sbin /lib /lib64
/var/run /var/lock are all symlinks and then manually install filesystem
package with --allow-nodeps

The rest of the upgrade should go smoothly from there.
