I asked before, but perhaps did not make clear
that I _was_ asking a question:
Can one run preupgrade on a standard Fedora-9 system?
My old desktop has 2 SCSI disks, and is running F-9.
When I run "sudo preupgrade", and choose the "rawhide" option,
the process appears to go smoothly,
except perhaps that the step
-----------------------
Detecting hardware...
Waiting for hardware to initialize...
-----------------------
seems to take a long time to complete.
However, when I boot into the new system, I get the error
-----------------------
Unable to download the kickstart file.
...
d:UUID=4d2cc...726d:/upgrade/ks.cfg
-----------------------
I can verify that this file is present,
and the UUID is correct for the /boot partition on /dev/sdb2 .
Now if I continue, I get the error
-----------------------
KickstartParser.handleCommand(self,lineno,args)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pykickstart/parser.py", line 440, in handleCommand

kb = self.modelDict[keytable]
KeyError: 'gb'
Install exited abnormally [1/1]
...
Unable to read package metadata.
...
Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: anaconda
installationRepo-200811220936.i386.
Please verify its path and try again.
-----------------------
My guess is that this has something to do with the fact
that I am using SCSI disks, though I have little evidence for this.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
