I ran pre-upgrade on my F10 system, selected Fedora 13 (branched).

It rebooted my system, and the install starts to run.
When it gets to the part about selecting my storage devices, I select both hard drives in my system. The second drive is correctly marked as the boot drive.
The install then tells me it is unable to find my root drive. ??? At this point, the only option I have in the graphical screen is to exit installer.... (F10 certainly has no problems finding my root drive B^)
The root partition is /dev/sda2, and is correctly labeled as such with a UUID and a LABEL=ROOT.
Why can't it find it? I can certainly mount my entire filesystem hierarchy by hand in an alternate console window, and I can traverse it and read my /etc/fstab and I checked that all the partition UUIDs listed in there are correct.
How can I proceed from here? Each day I wait means more updates I need to apply after the install completes. B^)
If you are attempting to upgrade from Fedora 10 (which is end of life), you'll likely want to use a Fedora 13 boot.iso or DVD. The latest preupgrade packages are not available for EOL'd versions of Fedora. It's possible you could take the latest preupgrade code [1], and rebuild and run it on your Fedora 10 system. But your mileage will vary.
Thanks, James
