SOLVED: RE: FC2 to FC3 upgrade exits abnormally

[Rick Lim]

Paul you are 100% correct, I removed 1 of 3 installed kernels and the
install proceeded fully.

Thank you very much.

How many kernels do you have installed? I had this problem when I tried
upgrading a machine that had one of the FC3 test release kernels
installed. Try removing as many kernels as possible from FC2 (preferably
leaving just one, < 2.6.9) and try it again. This worked for me.
