I just tried the preupgrade on F9-PR installed on 6GB disk and it actually failed due to that /boot is too small to download the image there. There is otherwise only one kernel and initrd.. default anaconda sizing for /boot.

Then it just sits on the screen with "Downloading installer stage 2" doing nothing.
I hope on bigger harddrives the /boot is aslo bigger, but the preupgrade should check if there is sufficient space anyway.
The above is already fixed in 0.9.2 which is in rawhide and updates-testing.
