I ran preupgrade on an up-to-the-minute-updated F11 system.
Everything seemed to proceed normally until I "rebooted."
Do you mean rebooted to begin the upgrade ?
Even then it looked good until an error message came up:
Upgrade root not found
The root for the previously installed system was not found.
Exit Installer [Button]
Don't know what that means. Why does it want the "root" for the
previous system?
The "root" in this case refers to the top level of your filesystem tree
"/". It can't find it.
Can you post: cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
and also blkid and mount -l
I'm not sure whether your disk is inaccessible from the installer's
kernel, or maybe the filesystems are mounted by a label or partition
name that might resolve differently with this kernel.
