I'm trying to use preupgrade to upgrade my Dell Studio XPS from Fedora 12 to Fedora 13.
It got through the bit where it downloads all of the required data from the internet and prompts me to reboot the PC.
I reboot the PC and select "upgrade to Goddard" from the grub menu.
After a while, I then get the message:
"Unable to find any device of the type needed for this installation type. Would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver disk."
I had this a few hours ago. With me it was a problem with the /etc/grub.conf entry created for the upgrade. There was a space missing after the '..cfg' in the kernel line.
I booted my old kernel, inserted the space in /etc/grub.conf and rebooted into the upgrade to Goddard. The upgrade then worked without me doing anything else.
