Just a vanilla F10 -> F11 upgrade. IMHO connected to the Nvidia card I have on the system (NV44A - GeForce 6200). It happened during the X startup, a few seconds after the anaconda started. Correction: it also happeded in text mode (I attached "3" to the preupgrade line in /etc/grub.conf) Looks like you have an fstype of "auto" for /dev/sdb1 in your fstab which also happens to be your root partition. Is this correct? If so, what happens if you change auto to be the real filesystem type? Funny thing. I really had those two lines in my /etc/fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 defaults,umask=022,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbdrive auto user,noauto,umask=000,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 The second one comes from rather ancient times of early kernel space USB memory support. My boot partition at the time was called hdb1. The bad luck is it is now called sdb1 like what Fedora used to detect my memory stick as in the Cretaceous. You ask "If so, what happens if you change auto to be the real filesystem type?". That is I can delete the second line right away. The problem is I already did a yum upgrade to F11. The only way I could (probably) test this would be to force a downgrade of fedora-release to the F10 version to fool preupgrade into allowing me upgrading to F11 (I do not wish to go rawhide on that box). Do you think it's worth the hassle? Especially as I would need to change my keyboard in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard from KEYTABLE="pl" to "us" before the preupgrade to avoid another anaconda crash (a problem most probably worth reporting in a new bug as I consistently seen it in four different F10 -> F11 upgrades). This is probably a bit of a corner case, so I'm not sure how much time it's worth spending on the issue. If you've already got your upgrade complete and are happy with the state of things, I don't see any reason why you should go through the pain of downgrading things followed by doing another upgrade. That seems very likely to leave you with a broken something. Created attachment 407616 [details]
