Hi everyone,

I've upgraded a desktop pc from FC2 to FC5 without much trouble (other than the gnome default theme not loading properly, and the gnome login box requiring to cancel before allowing me to enter my login... well that shouldn't be too hard taking care of).

However I haven't found a way yet to upgrade my laptop (dualboot XP/FC4 - functioning perfectly). The first steps (language and keyboard choice, upgrade rather than fresh install option) happen as expected, but anaconda dies on me when the upgrade really should start.

The failure happens both in graphic and text mode.

Any idea ?

Same problem here. I am trying to upgrade an existing FC3 but the installer crashes when I click on the Next button on the page where you choose upgrade or install. Tried both gfx and text modes. The DVD medium has been tested good.
