syslog
The initial disk selection UI is what we call the filter UI, it is meant to filter out disks which you absolutely do not want the installer to touch at all (including not bringing up mdraid / lvm on those disks or looking there for an older version to upgrade). As such it only shows disks (or firmware RAID sets) pure software RAID and LVM is not shown there. As rescue mode works, if you simply select all your disks there and continue you should get the upgrade / install question. If that does not work please reopen this bug.

storage.log
New storage log which shows upgrade path being rejected
I uploaded a new storage.log which shows the following: "product Fedora version 10 found on Raid-Root is not upgradable" Q1: Is upgrading from F10 -> F13 truly not possible/legal? Q2: Shouldn't the UI inform the user that one or more upgrade possibility was disallowed? Instead, I was just presented with the new install screens. > Q1: Is upgrading from F10 -> F13 truly not possible/legal? That is correct. Fedora only supports upgrading from n to n+1. > Q2: Shouldn't the UI inform the user that one or more upgrade possibility was > disallowed? Instead, I was just presented with the new install screens. Yeah if we find older releases on the system, we should probably stop and warn about it instead of blindly moving ahead with the install. Note that this won't catch all cases, as if you have an installation we somehow cannot detect, we won't have any information to go on for presenting a warning dialog. I'm retitling this bug to match Q2. Fixed with commit 1dd823a0753f9d6998fc2d7db1ab4416f486ef89 |
