Has anyone else encountered this problem? After downloading and installing the packages needed for an upgrade of F7 to F9 via [i][size=9]# yum preupgrade[/size][/i] the Anaconda installer refuses to continue past a point where stage 2 of [b]grub[/b] is called. The problem seems to be that I have my /boot on another partition to / and Anaconda cannot locate it. I did this install successfully about six months ago by specifying where the iso image [b]grub stg2[/b] needs could be found. This time my work around plus other attempts all failed.

Download Super GRUB Disk at: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ , burn it to a cd, and boot from this cd-rom to fix your GRUB configuration.

But really Anaconda should not care that /boot is on a separate partition; this is a fairly common configuration.

How is your disk partitioned? I would recommend a fresh install to F9 or F10. If your main files (/, /home) are in separate partitions, this would be the most straightforward thing to do.

I'm going to try Ubuntu for a change, then perhaps come back to Fedora around 12 or 13 when the preupgrade tool is honed a bit more.
