I just tried to upgrade Fedora 14 x86_64 to Fedora 15 x86_64 using the DVD. It did not go well. I couldn't figure out what went wrong so I did a fresh install. The system is a lenovo S10 with two drives and software RAID 1 partitions for /, /boot, and /home all ext3, and swap. There were ... contaminants ( nvidia drivers from rpmfusion repo, flash from adobe repo, and chrome from google-chrome repo). During init something bad flashed by but I couldn't catch it and I was presented with the "Control-D or root password for maintenance" prompt. There was nothing useful in /var/log/messages, /var/log/boot.log, /root/upgrade.log, /root/upgrade.log.syslog, nor dmesg I figured I'd try a "yum update" after chrooting into the system from the DVD in rescue mode but yum complained that it couldn't open the RPM database. I believe it mentioned corruption but I was still on my first coffee. It all could be a fluke or it could point to a pattern so I'll try and provide more details if anybody has questions.
