Ah, just noticed the email in this thread from Bruno... Could be some way to deep-six the hpa area within FC6 before upgrading...

This link gives some data on how to use the setmax utility to nuke the hpa area on a drive, which you could do under FC6, and subsequently, an anaconda-based F7 upgrade should work fine:
