From the ticket (see URL above). Here's the details. The default /boot partition is 200MB, but there's some overhead: Ext3/Ext4 overhead: 7MB Reserved space: 10MB F11 kernel: 8MB (at least - usually 3 kernels = 24MB) GRUB/EFI files: 1MB Total overhead: 26MB So there's 174MB of usable space maximum, and usually 158MB available. preupgrade now requires at least 167MB free space on /boot: F12 installer images: 143MB (8mb larger than F11!) F12 kernel: 18MB (10mb larger than F11!) RPM/anaconda tmpfiles: >=8MB (measured in stupid tests) Total: 167MB (Was 149MB in F11 - no problem!) > Can gparted resize /boot ? There are definitely workarounds available, but none that meet the criteria for preupgrade as an effortless upgrade option. Thanks, James
