F13 is really quite old at this point, and a lot of filesystem fixes have gone into anaconda since then. Can you please try again with F15 beta?
Yup. Glad to help any way I can. Will give it another go tomorrow and let you know what happened.
Tried 15, it failed. The failure however was past the point of the earlier failure. This time it just tells me that I can't upgrade from Fedora 11 and tells me to load the interim releases. Which of course I cannot do because they all fail. I've tried 12, 13, 14 and 15. They fail from preupgrade -cli and they fail from the live CD. I hope someone will help me figure out how to get back in the loop.
Ah, this is likely due to the number of ATA errors in your syslog. This is either the result of bad hardware or bad drivers. Reassigning.
Not sure this necessarily means anything but... The hardware passes diagnostics and the IBM support web site says I have the latest device drivers installed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
