Layout of both disks: # fdisk -l /dev/sda # fdisk -l /dev/sdb For F12 (the one you try to preupgrade) log in and get an output: # cat /etc/fstab For F13 (the one you already preupgrade-ed) log in and get an output: # cat /etc/fstab By the way: when you run preupgrade the next time (2nd, 3rd, etc) you are asked whether you want to continue from the point of previous stop/failure point or from the very beginning. IMPORTANT: I would advise you to stop changing anything on your machine (disk layout, swaps, /etc/fstab, etc) so that the data I ask you for above is true from that point on and we can help you !
