Hmm.. I wonder if this is the same issue I had with F9 on a
system with four seagate barracuda drives where it wouldn't
read the disks so crashed in the early installer with a python
backtrace?
Anyways, I've successfully used yum on multiple systems to upgrade.
But I always go one step at a time. Most recently I took one
machine from F7 -> 8 -> 9. Unfortunately I suspect I'll have
a hard time bringing my FC3 system up to date that way. ;)
