I know this is long after your original post -- but it is problems like
what you and others experience that persuades me to always install any
alpha or beta code to a totally different hard drive than the one my
"working" Fedora system is on. I just tried installing Fedora 12 Alpha
and I did get a nice runlevel 3 system...which of course is broken with
respect to X. Luckily I had taken the trouble to pop a spare hard drive
in my laptop, and put my Fedora 11 hard drive on a shelf for several
hours. I didn't lose anything and got some experience with the alpha code.

Today I finally gathered up the courage to "live on the edge" and

Here I also got an unbootable system, it looks like by cron automatically
running prelink(8). The steps here were:
- Got boot.iso from a rawhide mirror (not all carry them!),
dated 2009-07-07 (latest I could find)
- Rescue mode complained there aren't any Linux partitions. Panic time!
But they are there, lvscan shows everything inactive (?)...
# lvm
lvm> lvchange -a y /dev/VolGroup/LogVol00
....
# mount<lots of /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol?? under /mnt/sysimage>
# chroot /mnt/sysimage prelink -u -a
After the above, I could run yum:
# chroot /mnt/sysimage yum -y update --skip-broken
Several complaints about not being able to run %pre/%post later, I
rebooted normally, everything works (slowly, but better than not at all ;-)
Ran as root:
# package-cleanup --clean-dupes
And then did a:
# yum -y reinstall<list of packages with dupes from above>
just to be on the safe side WRT packages that didn't uninstall/install
cleanly. I'm pretty sure the above didn't catch them all, but...
Thanks for your reply, but I couldn't get my box to boot so finally
reinstalled F11 on it. :(
