Hi,
I started an upgrade from fc13 x86_64 to fc14 x86_64, and the computer locked up during the install. I thought the problem with the PC was that it was locking up due to insufficient memory. I've added more memory, but now the upgrade won't complete.
While you've been given the advice to reinstall, much like a Windows system, there is one other utility you can try first, if you haven't completely blown out the yum transaction, that is.
yum install yum-utils yum-complete-transaction
That's probably a slim possibility, but I had to do that with one F13->F14 upgrade; but yum-complete-transaction was the very first command I ran, and I didn't try another install in between, and the repositories hadn't changed enough to change the contents of the yum transaction (which will abort it).
Another possibility is to run package-cleanup --dupes to list the duplicates, an rpm -aq to list all packages, edit out the dupes, then manually install the needed rpms to upgrade from the DVD. Good luck.
