Don't know what that means. Why does it want the "root" for the

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 [root@box6 ~]# cat
/boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

I don't know about the rest of what you posted, but this seems to be
missing the root (hd0,0) line. Maybe preupgrade takes it from the next
stanza???

Well whatever, I added that line as shown below, but still get the same
error when I run preupgrade.

However when I run fdisk on that computer it shows two drives flagged as
boot. It boots from /dev/sdb. And I see there is an error in the
partitioning on /dev/sda. I wonder if that can cause confusion? It
certainly hasn't bothered F-11, I never noticed before. I would have
tried removing the other boot "*" but I'm not sure if telling it to
write that will cause other problems, with it all being lvm I don't know
if anything is written to that disk that I need? I have a strong
temptation to run fdisk and fix that! Any suggestions ...
cat fdisk.txt
# fdisk.txt
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 26 204800 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 26 30401 243991201 8e Linux LVM
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2 14 9729 78043770 8e Linux LVM
Also I never removed the parts of grub.conf that refer to the kernels I
removed before starting this exercise.
