a) When you say "upgrade", do you mean telling Anaconda to upgrade an

installation? Anaconda doesn't have logic to handle migrating from i386 to
x86_64, so it's not expected to work. Upgrading from F8 i386 to F9 i386
or F10
i386 generally should work. If you want to switch architectures, you
need a
fresh install.
I attempted to upgrade from Fedora 8 x86_64 to Fedora 9 x86_64 - which
failed at the point where the new packages were being installed.
b) You haven't given us any diagnostic information at all. F9 and F10
wouldn't
have been released if x86_64 builds routinely failed to install, and
there's
nothing exotic about your hardware, so it's highly unlikely that anyone
is going
to immediately know what's wrong with your setup. Please at least give
us an
error message or something.
There is no diagnostic information from the initial install because it
was a 'bare metal' install. I didn't retain and logs or other diagnostic
information from the upgrade attempt because the machine would not boot
because the primary OS file systems (/; /boot; /usr) were not fully
populated with the Fedora 9 software - but - the Fedora 8 software was
no longer at a point where it would boot.
Check the other virtual consoles: ctrl-alt-f3, ctrl-alt-f4, and
ctrl-alt-f5 will probably show you something interesting. If you have
to, photograph the monitor and upload the screenshot to bugzilla, but
please don't send huge image attachments to the list. It makes mail
servers and spam filters very cross.
