Dear Group:

I'm 'having difficulty upgrading from FC6->F7.   I used the F7 recuse
CD  and the F7 DVD ISO in an attempt to
do a hard disk upgrade.  The DVD ISO passes the mediacheck.

I boot the F7 Rescue CD,  select the Install/upgrade from the initial
screen.

The "Searching for Installation" status box is displayed and then the
partitioning screen is displayed
with no option to select an upgrade install.   The following is a list
of particulars for this machine:

# pvscan
           No matching physical volumes found
# lvscan
           No volume groups found

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you.
