Playing more with the XS DVD - which you can grab here
http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/other/Fedora-0.5.dev2-i386.iso -

- if I add 'upgradeany' to the boot line, it does offer to upgrade,
and it lists the F7 partition (/dev/sda2) with the correct name
("Fedora 7 (Moonshine)"), meaning it read it from /etc/redhat-release
.

- without the 'upgradeany' line, looking at anaconda.log shows isys.py
mounting /dev/sda2 successfully - dmesg shows no errors on mount, and
a manual mount of /dev/sda2 succeeds.

Very strange, but at least I have a workaround now (upgradeany)

cheers,
