True at least to show a pop up or something because when it happens, the
application just hangs (and killing the gui leaves a python process running).

In the end, preupgrade downloaded 1.5 GB worth of packages and I rebooted to
start the upgrade.  Sadly anaconda crashes right away (SIGSEV), looks like it's
having problem with stage2 because it claims in cannot 'find an ext2 filesystem
on dev loop0' right after trying to mount it as an isofs image (file tells me
minstg2.img is a squashfs image):
minstg2.img: Squashfs filesystem, little endian, version 3.1, 60449651 bytes,
10107 inodes, blocksize: 131072 bytes, created: Wed Mar 19 19:00:09 2008

Here's what my grub.conf looks like:
title Upgrade to Fedora 9 (Sulphur) Beta
        kernel /upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade lang=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=us
stage2=hd:sda1:/upgrade/minstg2.img
method=http://fedora.mirror.facebook.com/linux/releases/test/9-Beta/Fedora/i386/os
        initrd /upgrade/initrd.img

Ah. Upgrading to Beta might not work. Try upgrading to Rawhide instead.
Rawhide is basically the Preview Release right now, and it's got a much
newer Anaconda that has fixes for a bunch of these problems.

You might want to clear out the caches first, just to be 100% sure:
  rm -rf /var/cache/yum/anaconda-upgrade /boot/upgrade

-w
Does not work.....

Correct path to images are not set in grub entry nor
does manually changing the path to the correct one in grub fix the issue that
it cant mount/read the image...
