Thanks for the bug report.  This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.

That wasn't the resolution I wanted.

Comment 9 Braden McDaniel 2009-04-29 05:50:48 UTC 
This is not fixed.  I've encountered the same problem with F11 Preview.
Comment 10 Chris Lumens 2009-04-29 14:01:29 UTC 
This was fixed in anaconda-11.5.0.48 which unfortunately was not included in the preview release.
Comment 11 Bruce Luckcuck 2009-04-29 18:25:55 UTC 
In my case the failure was apparently caused by an entry in fstab that was part of VMWare tools:

In /etc/fstab:

# Beginning of the block added by the VMware software
.host:/                 /mnt/hgfs               vmhgfs  defaults,ttl=5     0 0
# End of the block added by the VMware software

Simply commenting out the ".host:/" line allowed the FC11beta to install without problems and upgrade my FC10 (virtual) instance.
