All packages downloaded, but preupgrade reported an error on the console I ran it from regarding the fact that /boot was on a software RAID device. The GUI, on the other hand, appeared to finish normally and reported that the installation would start on reboot. It didn't.
So is there a reason preupgrade can't work with /boot on RAID when the original (F12, IIRC, upgraded to F14) installation did? And why doesn't the GUI detect the error and fail?

I'm seeing the same problem--GUI doesn't complain, but doesn't work and preupgrade-cli complains. Any suggestions?

i downloaded the dvd, booted to it, and followed the upgrade procedure there. worked fine, i didn't install grub on my boot device though since it is already there.
