Same here. F14 x86_64 -> F15Alpha preupgrade.noarch 1.1.8-1.fc14 Created attachment 484428 [details]
grub.conf
This is the grub.conf configuration file that preupgrade generated for me.
Created attachment 484429 [details]
ks.cfg
Kickstart file generated by pre-upgrade
I have the same problem with preupgrade from F14 to F15alpha i386. The ks.cfg and grub.conf look the same as the ones Alejandro posted above. I got exactly the same problem here. 1 minute of blinking cursor hang, then the error specified above. After an additional reboot, the old unupgraded F14 starts as usual. Don't know if it is relevant, but my partitions are all encrypted. Note to potential testers, there may be a test day scheduled for this (tomorrow): https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/161 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_15_test_days https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-17_Preupgrade (note draft page!) It's not certain if the software is ready yet. Greetings, can you please retest with the latest version of preupgrade-1.1.9-1? You can find links at the Test Day page - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:Current#Prerequisite_for_Test_Day NOTE: the reason the installer is forcing you into command-line mode, is due to bug#678095 Tried with preupgrade.noarch 1.1.9-1.fc14, the error became "No way to determine wich NIC to use". You can see screenshots of the various consoles in http://www.coolbits.it/img/1.JPG http://www.coolbits.it/img/2.JPG and http://www.coolbits.it/img/3.JPG As suggested by James Laska I have appended "updates=http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/updates/f15-alpha.img" to the kernel line of preupgrade at startup, but the result is the same: anaconda is booted in command-line mode and gives the same error. However I saw that "f15-alpha.img" is 99 Bytes! Is that correct??

At first there was a dependency issue, Package tuple ('libxml++', 'i686', '0', '2.33.2', '1.fc14') could not be found in rpmdb I used yum erase to remove that and tried again, when I hit 684742 - I see others have had the same problem on the test day wiki page. I took a screenshot if it helps. I also noticed I was offered two network interfaces to complete the upgrade, one was wireless and did not give me any option to enter ssid or passphrase (so wasn't able to get a working link). Only the wired interface would work.

Only the wired interface would work. Thanks for the feedback. The issue with not offering SSID/passphrase options for your wireless device is a different issue. Can you please file that against anaconda? For that issue, any screenshots, and steps-to-reproduce would be very appreciated. (In reply to comment #11) > Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the comment, I have raised that as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689018 Tested today and the upgrade went fine. Bodhi still doesn't show preupgrade-1.1.9. Can you please trigger the push? James: would it also be possible to update your f15-alpha.img to the latest anaconda 15.26? 15.25 doesn't seem to work with encrypted disks (in my case: LVM on encrypted PV, preupgrade repo on LV). I have now pre-upgraded two systems with encrypted disks from F14 to F15 Beta. No problems. I think this can be closed.
