Hi: This box is running f16. It has been upgraded in stages from f10.
Two disks, and when last tried could boot Win Vista, Vista recovery,
f12 and f16. It usually runs MythTV under f16, 24/7.
Preupgrade appeared to run ok, with the expectation of downloading the
installer on reboot

- comment out both the mirrorlist and installmirrorlist lines
- insert baseurl and installurl lines pointing them to your mirror repo
- run preupgrade (not preupgrad-cli)
Here's my uncommented fc15-fc16 release.txt:

I just completed upgrading a FC14 virtual machine running under virtual

That's only true for Fedora 18 and later releases. For the current
release, PreUpgrade is still the recommended upgrade path:

Thanks everyone for the replies. So, for going 17-18, I should still be
using Preupgrade, and after that this new Fedup application?

I have a ThinkPad X220 with F16 booting with efi, so my grub.conf is

Same here, but F12-F13
I've don't a number of upgrades from Fedora 14 to 16 with no
problems, but just had a very bad issue with grub2 not working.
Preupgrade process seemed to go fine, then rebooted.
Screen came up, but was in a very dark gray with slightly lighter
gray letters that were not very readable
I just did a preupgrade from F15 to F16 and fell into this trap, or
something similar.
From a rescue disk boot (F12 is the latest I had lying around), I can

Because the boot process can only start from certain filing systems,

Almost all (all?) users of preupgrade are using grub1.
As I understand it, most (all?) grub1 systems have the first partition

Wow! Not to belabor the obvious, but why doesn't preupgrade check this
at the beginning. Or reinstall grub1. Anything would be better than
leaving you
