Hello,
I wish to update a fedora 20 installation to 21 by using a DVD.
Is it possible?
Actually, I burn a DVD bootable server fedora 21, but I did not find
the option update.
When I go to installation
then System, I can select my hard drive and manually partitioning
I can see the installed system (/ /boot and swap)
I can install fedora 21 but not on the same partition (I can reuse /boot)
I have to install it on a new /
I cannot have a mounting point / on the old fedora /
This seems to indicate that I cannot upgrade from this DVD.
How do you update a fedora 20 without network?
Thank.

System Upgrade sda1
System Upgrade sda (fedup), in this case, is the grub entry displayed on
boot to do the actual upgrade.

Is it because it did not mount /dev/sr0 ?
Maybe, who knows.
According to fedup's man page, --device takes either a device or a
mountpoint. Try using --device /dev/sr0, without mounting the cdrom.

What does the bug about fedup's failure to parse command line arguments have
to do with the described situation where fedup succeeds, but the subsequent
reboot fails to find the installation media?

I misread the problem. I saw just --device and "failed" and thought of
the problem I was having where --device always causes the fedup
command to fail. I'd expect --device to copy packages locally to
/var/cache/system-upgrade rather than somehow sending a message
through a reboot to mount a volume with those packages.

I googled it and found nothing like System Upgrade sda
might it be because of using "System Upgrade sda" instead of;
System Upgrade sda1

Hello,
Trying to upgrade to fedora 21. I did:
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
fedup --device /mnt/cdrom --product=nonproduct
then
'System Upgrade sda (fedup)
But it failed and reboot:

Is it because it did not mount /dev/sr0 ?
This what is in the grub.cfg

gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option

I do not see anything wrong.

Boot Fedora 20, first. The existing Fedora 20 server must be up to date with
the latest packages installed, including the "fedup" package.
Run the fedup command and use the --device option.
