Just a me-too. Saw the same thing. Had to run the grubby command manually with stage2=http://.../os/ without the last bit; it looks like dracut appends LiveOS/squashfs.img to the stage2 parameter to cause that error. Can the original poster change the subject to be more specific, about the stage2 url being wrong? Done (In reply to comment #2) > Can the original poster change the subject to be more specific, about the > stage2 url being wrong? More details: the solution I came up with, was to watch preupgrade's associated console messages, it says: /sbin/grubby --title="Upgrade to Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)" --remove-kernel="/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz" --add-kernel="/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz" --initrd="/boot/upgrade/initrd.img" --args="preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade ks=hd:UUID=<myhdid>:/upgrade/ks.cfg stage2=http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/x86_64/os/LiveOS/squashfs.img" Just cut and paste and remove the last part of that after finishing running preupgrade, and execute it as root, before rebooting: /sbin/grubby --title="Upgrade to Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)" --remove-kernel="/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz" --add-kernel="/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz" --initrd="/boot/upgrade/initrd.img" --args="preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade ks=hd:UUID=<myhdid>:/upgrade/ks.cfg stage2=http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/x86_64/os/" Your UUID will differ from mine, as well as the choice of fedora mirror. This got me actually starting to upgrade. (hit a few other problems later, but I am *mostly* on f17 now..). Clever. I also started preupgrade from the console but did not notice that the path apperaed here. I'm tried your solution, I'm going to reboot right now with the newly generated configuration.

Good luck - I have hit 4 bugs in total - well, actually 5, counting http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F17_bugs#preupgrade_from_Fedora_16_does_not_update_bootloader_configuration but I am mostly f17 now... The other 3 are: [Bug 822008] Silent lockup in upgrade of sbcl [Bug 826668] gridengine uninstall script(s) failed, causing preupgrade to abort... [Bug 826497] kde-filesystem failed to install due to directory/symlink difference... Wow. Looks like I'm not so unlucky after all... thanks again, it worked like a charm!
