Hi,

I've tried to re-install my system (Dell Optiplex Athlon, Dual Core 4400+, 4 GB. Parallel Port) via Live CD. This didn't work at all on my system (sadly I didn't take a screenshot of the failure message but it was the step after partitioning the hard drive). I tried the same with a 2.9.3 Live CD and this was immediately successful. Afterwards I could flawlessly update to 2.9.4.
Linux was up and running as expected. I ran stepconf wizard to create a machine config and afterwards replaced it by my backup config files (2.9.3) to the created folders. My machine was running without any issues.

I then started stepconf wizard (2.9.4) to check my setting of my backup config from 2.9.3 and got an error message:

 

Is there anything i need to do to update the 2.9.3 config file to be used with 2.9.4 stepconf wizard?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Dieter

You shouldn't need to use stepconf at all, the original configuration files should just work.
In fact you should be able to open even a version 2.7 or 2.6 configuration and the system should update the HAL and INI files to work with 2.9.

I know that it is working and tried to describe that I did just this after the update. In fact this made no problems at all. But stepconf offers the option edit an existing configuration and this is not working with configurations earlier then 2.9.4. I checked and edited my config with a text editor which works but is not as convenient as using stepconf. My posting was more like a bug report then asking for help.
