I didn't get a response yet, so perhaps I should have given more detail, as below. I ran the above preupgrade, and all seemed well, although I did the download in two sessions as it took a long time, until the reboot at the end. Then it stopped at:
Write Protecting the Kernel read only date 1440k Failed to execute /init Kernel Panic not syncing. No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
It had inserted the following info in grub.conf:
title Upgrade to Rawhide kernel /upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade stage2=hd:UUID=22c9c075 -aae8-4499-a275-1ed321adafa3:/upgrade/install.img ks=hd:UUID=22c9c075-aae8-4499-a275-1ed321adafa3:/upgrade/ks.cfg
I don't think there is a /init as such, so I don't know what I should do. Google didn't seem to help me, so any help appreciated!
---- you really should be asking Fedora-test list
I don't know that it matters but I did have to install syslinux from rawhide first in order to make the USB key installer and I would suspect that might have been necessary to use preupgrade but I really don't know.
