Hi,

I was testing preupgrade (F8->rawhide), and I hit a couple of problems:

The first issues was that the hard drive units in F8 have a different
order in F9 (at least for my HW [1]), so /dev/sda in F8 becomes /dev/sdb
in F9, and this makes the installer complain that it doesn't find the
upgrade images.
I solved this changing sda6 to sdb6 in the following line
in /boot/grub/menu.lst:
stage2=hd:sda6:/upgrade/minstg2.img
If I didn't change this anaconda would ask me for the location of the
ISO image, which seems to default to /upgrade/minstg2.img.


With the changes mentioned above, Anaconda starts (in text mode), and
goes on as to let me configure grub, but then it pops up the following
error message:
"Unable to read group information from repositories. This is a problem
with the generation of your install tree."
I can then choose to either "exit installer" or "retry". Every time I
hit "retry" the following error is printed on the console:
ERROR: Error running /usr/sbin/lspci: No such file or directory

I used preupgrade-0.9.2-1.fc8.

I've been having the same problem as your second problem. See the above thread "preupdate won't update". Are you also using volume groups?
