Created attachment 369088 [details] stacktrace Description of problem: I just tried preupgrade to rawhide (should become fedora 12) and anaconda crashes when it searches for storage. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-12.46 How reproducible: always - on my system Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot into preupgrade Actual results: crash Additional info: I have attached the stacktrace dump. I've also set this to urgent/urgent because it may affect lots of users since I have no exotic hardware config (I know of). I have saved the complete /tmp/ directory, so feel free to ask for any other files.

Your /etc/fstab file specifies that /dev/sda5 is a swap partition, when in fact it is your root partition. /dev/sda2 is a swap partition. Please fix this and see if this allows you to complete your upgrade.
In anaconda-13.22-1, and later versions, an fstab entry that contradicts the detected type of device's formatting will cause a failure so that this case is more clearly identified.
