Am I overlooking the > obvious somewhere? A clean install is just not practical on this box. I don't know if you are overlooking anything...but have a suggestion that may get you around the issue. Why not change your FC5 installation to not use a mounted /tmp partition since that partition won't have anything updated anyway. Then after the upgrade manually add /tmp back in. Of course, at that time the drive will be a "scsi" device.
