TRY!!! I've just tried and have had numerous problems, finally resulting
in being unable to boot up any kernel version at all, using inittab mode

What are you trying to achieve with such a general warning?
Distribution upgrades have never been entirely trouble-free, not even if
doing it with the DVD image. Even if all old packages get replaced during
the upgrade (and no package violated the upgrade-path), the new packages
need to cope with all sorts of configuration/integration/customisation
specialties at run-time.
Btw, a reinstall of Fedora 15 could be tried as well to test whether
you would run into the same or similar issues. ;)
