I believe that is a bug. Preupgrade from 10 to 11 booted into Anoconda
by default, but 11 to 12 doesn't.
Well, it finally finished, just as I'd begun to think it was stuck.
Unfortunately it booted to a black screen. I tried several times to boot with
an edited grub entry, without success. This last time it suddenly started up
a blue screen with the Fedora infinity sign - and I thought I was winning - but
it's still sitting there, a black screen with a flashing cursor at the top
left. If I don't crack this soon I'll end up wiping it and installing from
disk.
Later - well, at least I got as far as a text login. Now I have to try to get
the display working. system-config-display is not installed. Yum tells me
that it can't retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:fedora.
I have already disabled adobe repo and ATrpms repo, and I guess that it's
going to fail on all the others too, by the sound of it. Any ideas?
