How about "cloning" your F15, and upgrading that to F16 with latest fixes with Yum?
I made a filesystem in a new partition and copied to it as follows: from /media as root: cp -a sata400-3-slash/* sata-400-17 I edited the target's fstab. LABEL=sata400-17 / ext3 defaults 1 1
Just be sure that the first thing done after cloning is ensuring UUID and volume label on copy and clone do not match, and that on the clone fstab and Grub's menu are matched to the clone's location. Also, a typical cloning process does not clone Grub. That invariably must be done separately. Failing the fstab & Grub menu post-cloning steps would almost surely result in damage to the F15 source, if not complete destruction, once is upgrade is begun.
My first F15 install includes four partitions, one for / , one for /boot and two for swap. The copy uses the same /boot and swap partitions. Here are my grub stanzas: title Fedora 15 (2.6.42.12-1.fc15.i686.PAE) sdb17 root (hd1,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.42.12-1.fc15.i686.PAE ro root=/dev/sdb17 initrd /initramfs-2.6.42.12-1.fc15.i686.PAE.img title Fedora 15 (2.6.42.12-1.fc15.i686.PAE) sdb3 root (hd1,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.42.12-1.fc15.i686.PAE ro root=UUID=ce978949-d044-4020-8001-02454648a64e rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.42.12-1.fc15.i686.PAE.img I can boot sdb3. sdb17 fails. The last line before catatonia included: systemd-readahead-collect[406]: Failed to open pack file Permission denied There were other failures, but I mostly don't remember what they wer. One mentioned systemctl states and NetworkManager.service .
