I have updated my older Fedora installation with preupgrade to rawhide.
At the end of the update process the anaconda crashed:
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496618
There are already two reports from other people attached within few days.

My previous installation was i386, anaconda decided to use i586, but 
installed also i586 kernel, while this is a PIII CPU with PAE extension. 
What is the decision mechanism? Is it described somewhere?

I have radeon 9200 using OS driver, but I can not switch to any text 
consoles, they are just blank, but mingettys are running. This happened 
already during the installation, I guess it's not bind to updated old 
system, but xorg radeon driver somehow (init 3 is OK). The are other 
unhealthy symptomes of radeon.. and a lot of bugs and fails in Test Day: 
Radeon. Is it going to be any better?
