I think that you might have misunderstood me. Preugrade, the
application, is working fine. Anaconda is crashing/halting/whatever.
Anyway, I tried what you suggested, but there wasn't any difference.
1) Can Anaconda be put into text mode for preupgrade (i.e., how do I
change the grub.conf entry)
2) Where are any Anaconda messages going to be recorded?
What kind of video card do you have? If you have a radeon you might try
adding "radeon.modeset=0" to the preupgrade kernel line. I had this same
problem and it took 3 tries to get the upgrade to finish until I added
that option.
