I was using preupgrade on a default Fedora 15 box to upgrade it to Fedora 16. This error message is a mystery to me. I've upgraded 3 other machines just like it with preupgrade without a problem.
After a handful of attempts at using preupgrade I had to use yum distrosync and manually install grub2. The machine is now on F16 (and running fine). I guess I'll close this since I have no way to reproduce it now.
