it complains " grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template".
I guess preupgrade get the same problem and just skip the kernel install.

Hello, Kevin
I can't enter my system now, however, I check the upgraded system using livecd.
After login in my system by chroot in livecd, by checking "rpm -qa |grep fc15 ", I am sure that many fc15 packages have installed.
And all the 3 steps you mentioned have passed, which takes a couple of hours. So at least most fc15 packages have installed.
I just found a empty upgrade directory in /boot, and nothing related to fc15 there. I guess preupgrade must forget to install kernel.
So what I should do to rescue it is to upgrade/install kernel in chroot environment. But I don't know how to upgrade kernel with a kernel RPM file. Any advice?--On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 4:41 PM, Kevin J. Cummings <cummings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

step process. Here are the steps in a nut-shell:
1) run preupgrade and have it download packages to a local repository on
your machine. It should also modify your /etc/grub.conf file to add an
entry which will continue the upgrade in step 2. When this step
completes, it should ask you to reboot your computer.
2) when you reboot, it should automatically select the F15 upgrade entry
and boot into the second stage installer and start installing the
downloaded packages on to your system. This is the step that fails for
many people. Places to look for problems are in /etc/grub.conf and in
/boot/upgrade/. In the latter you should have at least 3 files:
initrd.img, ks.cfg, and vmlinuz. If not, something else has gone wrong
for you to look into. If everything goes right, when the packages are
finished installing (and yet another change is made to your
/etc/grub.conf file), the system will reboot yet again....
3) The final reboot will run a script called firstboot which should
clean up from the upgrade process, and remove the old kernel versions
from your system. It will also check to make sure that any new packages
are configured properly (or prompt you for their configuration)
so that F15 will run correctly for you upon subsequent reboots. If you
get this far, preupgrade has done its job correctly and you should be
all set.
What does "rpm -qa | grep fc15" tell you? (there should be *lots* of hits).

If it can't find any fc15 packages installed, you haven't upgraded yet.
