no matter what you do

I can't upgrade from 12 to 13. I ran preupgrade. It downloads all the necessary, inserts upgrade to Goddard in grub. That runs until a little after 'starting anaconda' then freezes.

I tried installing over yum, following the tips on fedora.org, same thing. I have done this several times, always with the same result. Short of downloading the iso and installing from scratch, what could I do?

My Fed 12 is fine, has the newest kernel. But I thought 13 might be better. Maybe I should wait for 14?

I do not like upgrades .
Upgrades can give a lot of troubles.
But if you like to upgrade 14 you have to upgrade first to 13 before you can upgrade 14
Or do a clean install of 13 , hoping that the upgrade to 14 goes smoothly
Or wait for 14

If you do a clean install do not remove the fedora 12 first. Your m/b may not like the I/O routing and freeze on a clean install. This only seems to happen on older sets.

I don't really mind doing a clean install, I was just wondering why the upgrade won't work. It is supposed to make things easier!

But it always freezes, and I can only switch off the computer forcefully, and reboot. As far as I know, 14 is not around yet.

Maybe someone knows something to tweak, and the upgrade will work.

My machine is not too old, 1600 GHz dual processor ASUS GL5 something.

As I said, I followed the fedora.org instructions for upgrading, both from the preupgrade window, and from yum directly. No joy!

Did that, didn't work yet! But I'm reading lots of stuff!

Are you by chance running a m/b with integrated video and if so which model?

There appear to be many problems with the intel 865g chipset.
