I think that /boot must not be on a raid, which may be the problem.

Raid 1 is OK.

Raid 1 is OK.
I am actually running raid 0 (BIOS RAID) using two 80GB ssd drives split 
into
three partitions. (Win7 on md126p1 and F12 on md126p2 - /boot,md126p3 
LVM for / and swap)

BIOS RAID sounds suspiciously like fake RAID which meant that you had to
load a specific device driver/kernel module just to get Fedora 12
installed and that specific driver is not included in the reboot process
of preupgrade so it won't work.

If you are using dkms or something similar to automatically build the
kernel module each time you install a new kernel, you could probably use
yum to upgrade you from F12 to F13.

Perhaps you want to tell us what this BIOS RAID is and how you managed
to get F12 installed on that setup.

That's not quite true. Most of the proprietary BIOS RAID (aka
ata-RAID, fake RAID etc.) formats have been supported for quite a long
time now by the dmraid project:

http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dmraid/

Some of the formats (as is the case with Intel ISW on F13) are now using
MD RAID but it's been quite a while since you had to use non-standard
proprietary drivers or kernel modules to use these things.

Bryn.

At a guess and based on the above output it was being handled by dmraid
in F12 and is now using MD RAID (so it's an Intel ISW fake RAID controller).

good to know - mostly I use Fedora for desktop and RHEL or CentOS for
servers so I hadn't seen the change but I am generally very careful
about which RAID controller I pick for servers.

Yes this is Intel fake raid with fedora using mdraid to support it.
No special drivers or kernels needed.

preupgrade 12 to 13 error

Need a little help to determine next step.

After reboot from running preupgrade I get the following message.
