I have just seen this issue too. My kickstart is exactly same as Adam's (apart from keyboard, lang and disk UUID).

I also attach screenshot of the error message.

This issue has been confirmed by multiple people, proposing as F13Blocker.

There's definitely a bug here somewhere. But the preupgrade-generated kickstart isn't necessarily the problem. 

Anaconda's not supposed to be clearing disks (or asking about which disks to clear) during an upgrade. That should be pretty obvious - you don't want anything to get deleted, you want it to get upgraded.

Could you try adding 'clearpart --none' to the kickstart and see if that works? Executing that command tells anaconda to skip the 'Disks to clear' screen - except since 'clearpart --none' is the default, this wasn't necessary in the past.

Yes, that fixed the problem, Will, perfect. The only remaining issue is that you don't see anything until you manually switch to VT1. I have reported separate ticket about it: bug 582590.

    Add 'clearpart --none' to the kickstart, as anaconda no longer defaults to this. Fixes rh#575400

Could you try the preupgrade package here please: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/fedora/13/i386/

Could you please build package for x86_64? That would save lots of time for me.

I'm afraid you forgot an end-of-line. My generated kickstart:

# ks.cfg generated by preupgrade
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
bootloader --upgrade --location=none
clearpart --noneupgrade --root-device=UUID=aaccda74-4c94-463a-8aea-f46d1c22545c
reboot


%post
grubby --remove-kernel=/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz
rm -rf /boot/upgrade /var/cache/yum/preupgrade*
%end

After trying to upgrade I see this error:

no such option: --noneupgrade

Installed 0:1.1.5-0.2.fc13. Kickstart:

# ks.cfg generated by preupgrade
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
bootloader --upgrade --location=none
clearpart --none --root-device=UUID=aaccda74-4c94-463a-8aea-f46d1c22545c
upgrade
reboot


%post
grubby --remove-kernel=/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz
rm -rf /boot/upgrade /var/cache/yum/preupgrade*
%end

Error:

no such option: --root-device

preupgrade-1.1.5-0.3.fc13.noarch finally looks ok :) Fixed.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Discussed at today's blocker review meeting, we accept this as a blocker:

"The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually "

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Beta_Release_Criteria

We hope the fixed build will be submitted as an update soon.

Yes, preupgrade-1.1.5-0.3.fc13.noarch worked for me as well.

Just to point out the obvious, this needs to be built for F12 as well as F13...

Where do I find preupgrade-1.1.5-0.3.fc13.noarch? I can't find it in cvs.

See comment #12.

Still not working.

Nikola, I think you should file a separate bug.

as posted on 572148:

Discussed at today's blocker meeting. Richard, when do you plan to submit this
fix to F12 updates? It's still blocking the release of F13 until that happens.
Thanks!

preupgrade-1.1.5-1.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12.
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/preupgrade-1.1.5-1.fc12

preupgrade-1.1.5-1.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update preupgrade'.  You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/preupgrade-1.1.5-1.fc12

I'm still getting a traceback with preupgrade-1.1.5-1.fc12.

This is a different bug. please don't piggy-back onto this one. If you file it against the parted component I think that is the right place.

Kamil, can you please confirm the released 0.1.5 fixes this bug (despite its other problems)? Thanks.
