    Hi,
    after several days of testing upgrading Fedora 19 to fedora 20, i face
    the same issue.
    whatever Virtual machine i use (Virtualbox or VMware Workstation) the
    result is always the same... after upgrading the virtual machine turns
    into a black/blank screen and nothing can be done.
    it doesn't machine if i install or not virtualbox tools (or vmware
    toold) it's the same results.
    Here are the basic features of my virtual machine
      * 1 CPU / 2cores,
      * 4GB RAM
      * 128MB Video

    to reproduce the issue:
    1. launch VMWare Workstation 10 and install Fedora 19 x64 from DVD iso
    2. as root, do a yum update to be sure fedora 19 is up to date
    3. do a yum install fedup (to get latest version of fedup)
    4. do a snapshot for fallback in case of...be sure you will need it
    5. do a fedup --network 20
    6. reboot after upgrade
    7. ==> after booting via grub2, your virtual machine with turn into a
    blank screen :(
    the same issue with VirtualBox.
    after that i tried yum install fedora-release fedora-update but i get
    the same result.
    So anybody has an idea what is the problem ?
a wild guess: Did you make sure you had fedup version 0.8? earlier versions
will apparently leave you with a broken system.


in fact i did a yum install fedup
and i got the version 0.8.3 as far as i remember.
