I am trying to upgrade FC3>FC4. I have booted from the boot.iso CD (burned) and am installing from HTTP with the source loaded on another machine on my local network.
My problem is that the installer does not find any existing implementation of Fedora, so goes into the new install path rather than the upgrade path. I have successfully upgraded a FC3 machine using this same approach (the test machine, which is now the source for the HTTP install) and the same CD.
I have faiirly standard partitioning using LVM.
This happened to me with an earlier installation. I backed up my important information and reinstalled using the tried and true normal partitioning scheme
vs. lvm. I thought, this is great, using LVM as default, then fail to recognize this during the next installation.
Sorry no help. I had this happen to me during a test installation.
I recall someone speaking of a trick they used by allowing the previous installation CD to boot up to media test, then swap discs to the FC4 disc and proceed with the installation. I don't recall if this problem was overcome or not using this method.
