There is a known bug where anaconda dies if it sees a pre-existing
LVM
partition with a dash in the name.. which yours appears to have.

Worked fine for me - I tested upgrades from FC4 and FC5.
In theory, if you lvrename that volume to something without a dash, then
your upgrade should work.
I can confirm that I've updated an FC5 partition with a volume group
"rootvg"
containing "root_lv", "opt_lv", "home_lv" without issue.
BTW, I've also been able to get around some anaconda issues by using a kickstart
file. E.g., custom fs creation is failing interactively but works fine via
kickstart.
