What is the best way to yum upgrade from RH8 to SL4.3? I have 2 machines both running RH8 - 2.4.18 and 2.4.20 kernels which I want to upgrade to SL 4.3 when it is available. I have heard of difficulties going straight from RH8 to CentOS4.2 and it is better to go RH8-FC2-RHEL4.x or some similar route. The complication is that on one machine a number of the partitions are reiserfs, which is not in FC2/SL4.*. I don't want to do a reinstall, although that is sometimes the best way. It would mean doing lots of reconfiguration. Presumably there is no need to run in the new kernels until it has been compiled to include reiserfs - or is there one already available? ie all the upgrading can be done under 2.4.x kernels. I propose trying this route but does anyone have any comments?
