I just reinstalled, although upgrading by hand should be possible, you
just have to be careful about it.

Make sure the mpprun package is installed first.  You can also install
them both at the same time by specifying them both on the command line.

beostatus-nobproc isn't in the new distro, so you can just 'rpm -e
beostatus-nobproc', then do your upgrade.

Make sure you upgrade kernel-headers first.

Hmm.. you shouldn't need pcmcia support.

Didn't you already do this one?

Just remove the kernel-pcmcia-cs package

Make sure the mpprun package is installed first.

Apparently this is already upgraded, you shouldn't have to upgrade it
again.

Try doing mpprun and beompi on the same command line.

No need to upgrade this package.


This should help give you some idea of what the error messages from rpm
mean.
