Issue with conversion after ssh session Dropped.

[tpopchock]

Hello,

I made a mistake and didn't kick off an additional screen and lost my ssh session right after I kicked off the centos2ol.sh script. I was on CentOS 7.7 and now my cat /etc/redhat-release shows Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo). I am providing the following information per support's request.

[root@hermes yum.repos.d]# rpm -qa | grep release

I don't seem to have any valid .repo files they've all been appended .disabled The switch-to-oraclelinux.repo file appears to be webcode and not a repo file.

Thank you for your help.

The system has switched to Oracle Linux but hasn't completed the distro-sync.

To verify, can you please check the output from rpm -qi centos-logos? If it returns package centos-logos is not installed then run the following:

$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
$ sudo curl -o switch-to-oraclelinux.repo https://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo

Check the /etc/yum.repos.d/switch-to-oraclelinux.repo file here. If it contains HTML again, please post the HTML so we can try and work out where it's coming from. Though, I would suggest checking it first incase it's coming from a corporate proxy.

It should look like https://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo. If it does, continue:

$ sudo yum distro-sync
$ sudo rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/switch-to-oraclelinux.repo

Your system is now Oracle Linux. I suggest doing the following again, just to make sure the system is definitely bootable:

$ sudo yum reinstall kernel-uek

I just want to be double sure and trigger the post-install scripts to update the boot loader/UEFI config.

Thank you again, I am really impressed with your support.  I kicked off the first couple command and can confirm the .repo is correct.  I have some issues with dependencies when I run the distro-sync and will list them below.  I can dig through those too. --> Processing Dependency: oracle(kernel-sig-key) >= 202007 for package: shim-x64-15-2.0.9.el7.x86_64--> Finished Dependency ResolutionError:

You have kernels installed from elrepo which makes this box not-quite-CentOS. I'll add a note to the Before you begin section that documents the need to uninstall any kernel from centosplus or elrepo or any other repo that isn't CentOS-Base.

[Djelibeybi]

To unravel this, you'll probably need to run yum remove kmod-kvdo libreport* first. Then yum remove kernel-ml*

[tpopchock]

Ahh I see yes I had to install an alternate kernel to fix some stability issues with the system crashing due to the AMD Ryzen chip. Thank you for the heads up I'm sure this will fix the issue.

[tpopchock]

I can confirm that yum remove kmod-kvdo libreport* and yum remove kernel-ml* resolved the issues with the dependencies and I was able successfully complete a yum distro-sync. Thanks again for the help, it is very appreciated!

[Djelibeybi]

You're welcome. I'll take this moment to let you know that the UEK5 and UEK6 support AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC chips just fine because they power our Flexible E3 Shapes on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Based on your last update, I'm going to close this issue. Feel free to open a new one if you have any further questions.

[Djelibeybi]

Oh, and I've created #5 to make the docs more explicit about the need to remove non-CentOS kernels before switching.
