I ran preupgrade to F11, which failed on re-boot
after installing dozens of packages.
But to my surprise the old F10 system seems to work fine.

Incidentally, I've found F11 installation really bad,
with several failures on different machines.
I think it is the worst Fedora distribution ever from this point of view.
As far as I can see, anaconda is getting more and more complicated.
Someone needs to sit down and see if it couldn't be simplified.
