Created attachment 448000 [details] anaconda log Description of problem: I have system with 2 hdds: one sata and second (usual) ata. And try to upgrade from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13 using bootable dvd. First of all i wait more then 5 minutes between "Storage Devices: Basic/Specialized" and "Storage Devices Selection Screen". After "Storage Devices Selection Screen" screen i wait another 5 minutes? and after i choose "upgrade system" i get the attached exception. Also if i select "Basic storage devices" it shows only one of my 2 hdds: only ATA and no sata. If i select "Specialized storage devices" it shows sata drive too, but like bios raid (despite raid is disabled in bios). Then i get same exception in same place. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 13.42 (Fedora 13) How reproducible: I think you need mother board with Nforce 3 Ultra chipset (EP-9NDA3) and sata hdd.
Ok, i've just installed distr (Fedora 13). Solution that helped was to don't select my ATA drive as "data storage" (don't check on checkbox) at "Storage Devices Selection Screen". I have old and not working installation of fedora 5 at my ATA hdd, may it confuses anaconda?
You can only install from the previous release. So to upgrade from F11 you need to first upgrade to F12.
I didn't know and upgraded from F11 to F13 and all went successfully, except issue with hdds i described in bug report.
I beleive issue is not related with Fedora version, it is related with "Storage Devices Selection Screen" and logic related with it. i'm 100% sure that if i upgrade from F12 to F13 i get same exception.
