I ran rpm -V fedora-release and it validated properly except for flagging repo files which were changed. /etc/fedora-release was present. I also renamed the lables of /boot1->/boot and /usr1->/usr thinking that might be it. Nada. Still no screen displaying radio button options for install or upgrade. I am running a xen kernel, specifically, Version : 2.6.19 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 1.2911.6.5.fc6 I had problems with 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 so I've never used it. Does the installer look at the grub.conf file when upgrading at that point in the upgrade? Are there any debug settings I can set, etc, etc. I've been going at this for three days and no luck. Could something in the partition table be incorrectly set? Just by chance I said, why not check to see what parted dumps out. I noticed the following error at the botton of the list: Error: Unable to open /dev/md0 - unrecognised disk label. # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : unused devices: <none> I remember on irc someone had asked if I'm using software raid to which I responded no. I am currently not running software raid and thought I had removed software raid last year. Apparently some remnants were left. Ideas on where, how, what to remove or change? Thank you.
