Hello, Kevin I can't enter my system now, however, I check the upgraded system using livecd. After login in my system by chroot in livecd, by checking "rpm -qa |grep fc15 ", I am sure that many fc15 packages have installed. And all the 3 steps you mentioned have passed, which takes a couple of hours. So at least most fc15 packages have installed.
I just found a empty upgrade directory in /boot, and nothing related to fc15 there. I guess preupgrade must forget to install kernel. So what I should do to rescue it is to upgrade/install kernel in chroot environment. But I don't know how to upgrade kernel with a kernel RPM file. Any advice?
