Comment 2 Michael Cronenworth 2011-11-28 00:55:35 UTC 
I was using preupgrade on a default Fedora 15 box to upgrade it to Fedora 16. This error message is a mystery to me. I've upgraded 3 other machines just like it with preupgrade without a problem.
Comment 3 Michael Cronenworth 2011-11-28 07:00:33 UTC 
After a handful of attempts at using preupgrade I had to use yum distrosync and manually install grub2. The machine is now on F16 (and running fine). I guess I'll close this since I have no way to reproduce it now.
