Description of problem: When trying to upgrade from FC2, anaconda core dumps after it detects my previous installation and I choose it for upgrading. How reproducible: Always, at least on this machine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up, insert installation DVD, pick either the graphical or the text install mode (doesn't matter) 2. Choose to upgrade an existing version of Fedora, in this case, FC2 3. Witness Anaconda error and the prompt to save the core dump to a floppy. Actual results: Can't get past this, and can't upgrade to FC3 Expected results: Successful upgrade Additional info: Will attach the .txt file saved to my floppy

Can you attach your fc2 /etc/fstab - we don't seem to have a / entry in our fs list.

<Can you attach your fc2 /etc/fstab - we don't seem to have a / entry in our fs list.> Yes, I noticed a curiosity in fstab yesterday. Somehow, cLABEL keeps sneaking in there when it should be LABEL. I've seen this before and don't know what is doing this. Perhaps changing this back to LABEL will work. (Above is attachment of fstab). Thanks.
Yes changing back to LABEL should make it work. Can you edit, confirm correct with head /etc/fstab then retry the upgrade?
I've also commited a fix to HEAD to not trace back and give an error message in the case of no / in fstab
Yes, changing it back to LABEL worked and I upgraded to FC3. Thank you very much.
