Thought I would try out preupgrade but it doesn't seem to be working. Seems to hang near the end with these messages in the terminal window from where I ran it:

None of the buttons are highlighted and the progress bar was totally stalled all night. All I can do is kill the window.
System is a Thinkpad t60p laptop.

Try using preupgrade 0.9.3-3.fc8 as it seems to have a changelog entry that matches your issue. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/pending/preupgrade-0.9.3-3.fc8
