preupgrade defaults to highlighting "Fresh Installation" rather than "Upgrade an Existing Installation". I would have thought it should default to highlighting the "Upgrade" option since that's the purpose of preupgrade, it might cause a user to inadvertantly override an existing system if they just accepted the defaults.
Please attach /tmp/anaconda.log to this bug report. If you're seeing that screen at all, it seems unlikely that your upgrade process is working as it should at all.

On the filter screen, did you select the drives in your system to be a part of the upgrade process? Perhaps anaconda could not find your previous installation because it was not selected.

I believe I did select a drive during the preupgrade, can't quite recall now.

I think that was the first thing that preupgrade/anaconda presented after reboot. The drive selection was during preupgrade before reboot IIRC.
I just did a fresh upgrade from another F-11 machine to F-13 and I first selected the drive in anaconda after reboot (not before rebooting as I erroneously said comment #6 above), then I was presented with the screen that had something like (this is from memory): "Another installation has been detected, what would you like to do: [x] Fresh installation [ ] Upgrade existing <drop down box with F-11 installation in the list>" If this has been done from preupgrade, this should default to the second choice, not the first. Selecting the "upgrade existing" and then selecting the installation works, however I think the default selection of fresh installation is a bug.
