on the way to do it when I found someone already did it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372011
And apparently there's even a workaround that solved the problem for
some people (but, unfortunately, not all):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372011#c28
I am at work now, will try this ASAP and post back here (and at bug
372011) my results.Judging from the bug report posted above, and to the bugs marked as

duplicates, quite some people got bitten by this. Still, I agree that
success count should be higher -- but it doesn't "ease the pain" of

Ohh... The upgrade pain looks HORRIBLE. Isn't it a chance for a newbie to escape :|. At the time when Fedora is struggling to prove itself a Stable Desktop Linux for Beginners these issues should be fixed ASAP.Posting success stories of up gradation aren't necessary. Absence of complain posts itself are success stories.
It is acceptable that there are some bugs in "Under Development Technology Area" but a process that is sure to repeat every 6 months should be stable. Are we producing Quantity Or Quality. Is it right to work on the top putting more n more advance stuff when we couldn't keep the foundation Stable. Who will try those awesome features when he's unable to complete the installation peacefully.
