I upgraded 11 desktop and 5 servers and the biggest problem I had was one of the servers did not do the switch properly to fc18 and had to jump through hoops, to big to explain, but got it installed. Another did not switch kernels and had to yum indstall it All but one where single o/s machine, one was lib-virt kvm image and it upgraded fine.
