Description of problem: When using preupgrade for moving from F10 to F11 my architecture switched from i686 to i586. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest from F10 available. How reproducible: Just execute preupgrade. Actual results: Latest f10.i686 kernel and packages replaced by default i586 ones. Expected results: To have i686 kernel and packages.

I have found some discussion with this specific message: http://osdir.com/ml/fedora-test-list/2009-04/msg00343.html If I understand it correctly from notice [3] in the very end of that message, my device will get i586 and that is not a mistake but some change in naming convention. If it is true, I would expect some information in the Release notes. Right now I couldn`t find anything there.
The first page of the Fedora 11 Release Notes (Section 1.4) suggests that you check the Common Bugs page. On that page, you'll find this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs#Can.27t_find_.i686_kernel Hope that helps clear up any remaining confusion.
Thank you for quick answer. I still suggest having more clear information in release notes because this is feature not a bug and normally explanation is expected to be somewhere in Architecture part of RN.
