Running preupgrade in F10, all packages are downloaded successfully, and I click
on the "Reboot now" button. When the system reboots, I select the "Upgrade to
Fedora 11 (Leonidas)" entry from the GRUB menu and get an immediate "Error 15:
File not found" failure from GRUB.
Everything is on one partition (no separate /boot partition).
In /boot/grub/grub.conf:
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,6)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title Upgrade to Fedora 11 (Leonidas)
kernel /boot/upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade

The filesystem has the matching UUID:
# tune2fs -l /dev/sda7 | grep UUID
Filesystem UUID: d137c2a7-7913-42ed-87b0-6b3fac3ec768
In /boot/upgrade:

I have no idea what file GRUB is complaining it can't find. (Don't you just
love error messages like that?)
