Created attachment 106735 [details]
Anaconda dump files from FC2>FC3 update failure

This dump was supposed to be attached to the bugzilla report (according to the
anaconda error message) but bugzilla will not accept it as it is too large!

Will gzip it instead...

Text file is gzip'ed...

Apologies for the dupe - upload appeared to 'hang'..

IMHO this does _not_ appear to be a duplicate of #138419, which
appears to relate to disk/partition problems?

Have tried rebuilddb and booting with noapic,nousb etc, but this
appears to be a complete showstopper...    The media has tested OK...

Whoops, wrong bug #.  Too many numbers in my head :)
