Description of problem:
Hi!
I've run preupgrade on my Fedora 12 x86_64 and downloaded all the necessary packages. After restart and choosing "Fedora 13 Rawhide" in GRUB I get black screen. Had to switch to console and back to X-screen to get some image. After about 5 minutes of searching storage hardware got a dialog where had to enter password of my encrypted partition. After about 25 minutes of scanning for storage hardware got error:
Header: "Error Parsing Kickstart Config"
Body: "The following error was found while parsing the kickstart configuration file:

The kickstart configuration file is missing required information that anaconda cannot prompt for. Please add the following sections and try again:
Disks to clear"

Yes, confirm. I have same issue. Do you have any workaround to avoid this?

Nop, no workarounds due to a lack of knowledge and experience.

Also there is same issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=578284
