I recently upgraded F16->F17 using preupgrade. I booted into F17 and everything seemed to work until I tried rebooting, whereupon I got a Kernel panic with a lot of stuff about missing files (mdadm, sh, cat, ...) and a panic backtrace. This was completely reproducible. I then noticed that the runn

Okay, so just to be clear, you mean that you have *not* copied files from a f15 filesystem to a new f17 system, but actually have copied files (with a file manager, GNOME Nautilus) from an external system to a unique filesystem that is used by both f15 and f17 that you dual-boot on the same dis
