Hello,
After I update a fedora 10 to fedora 11, I get:
File "/usr/sbin/yum-updatesd" . line 41. in <module> from yum.config import BaseConfig. Option, IntOption, ListOption, BoolOption ImportError: No module name yum.config
an I cannot boot. So I tried to install a more recent version of yum and yum-utils yum-3.2.24-2.fc11.noarch.rpm yum-utils-1.1.23-1.fc11.noarch.rpm
from another system by using:
rpm -Uvh new_install/yum-3.2.24-2.fc11.noarch.rpm yum-utils-1.1.23-1.fc11.noarch.rpm --dbpath /mnt/linux/var/lib/rpm
But it does not solve the problem: still cannot boot !!!!!!!

Wrong packages. You need to replace the "yum-updatesd" package, provided that you still _want_ to use it in the future. Consider removing it, because PackageKit has taken over doing the automated updates with desktop notifications.
But it does not solve the problem: still cannot boot !!!!!!!
It's possible to disable services, so you could boot.
With regard to your other upgrade problems, if I were you, I would come up with plans to simplify my setup, so I could (a) multi-boot several different dists more easily with a shared /home partition albeit separate user accounts, and (b) be able to do fresh installs of new Fedora releases into separate partitions for evaluation purposes. Something's strangely complicated about your setup that you're stuck with F-10.
Thank for the comments.

I did too, but I am still getting the same problem !
Should I directly move to fedora 12 ?
I also do not understand why I cannot enter in interactive mode by pressing "I" as mentionned during the booting process.
In fact some times I am able to boot by pressing i even if I cannot control the starting of the services. I boot in text mode but when I make a startx and it just freezes. I have to switch off the computer !! There is not file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I am not sure that I should keep process in updating before all these problems have been solved
But it does not solve the problem: still cannot boot !!!!!!!

You did not really provide explicit details about what steps you took to achieve the upgrade from f10 to f11 - however it would be a really good idea to read the following (if you have not already looked at the links):
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PreUpgrade and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum
It would probably help others who are trying to understand how to help you, if you said which explicit set of steps you took to do the upgrade from 10 to 11 - it is not always trivial, and you need to make sure that this is fully cleaned up after the upgrade before any attempt to move from 11 to 12, and again to clean up fully before making any attempt to move from 12 to 13.
In my view such a triple jump will take more time than doing a clean install of f13 and then setting configs for the new system and pulling in user areas from the older system.
Also be aware that there have been many improvements to selinux between f10 and f13 and you may well need to check labelling, especially for files you may have installed yourself in the old system.
Good luck.
Thank for the email.

I updated form the dvd, to avoid any network problem Of course fedora 10 was uptodated.
Every thing was fine. Except: 1) anaconda did not touch the MBR (I set to option to modify the MBR), so I did it manually from the previous version of fedora (grub-install) 2) The updated system did not reboot, because:
File "/usr/sbin/yum-updatesd" . line 41. in <module> from yum.config import BaseConfig. Option, IntOption, ListOpt
so I installed the last fc11 version of yum, yum-utils, yum-updatesd from the previous version of fedora (rpm --dbpath /mnt/linux/var/lib/rpm) It did not solve any thing 3) I was not unable to enter in interactive mode (and do not run yum-update service) 4) Trying again several times, by pressing "I", it finally by passed the previous error, I logged normally in text mode. Then startx froze and I had to switch off the PC
Any way there is still an issue with PAE. my /proc/cpuinfo says: flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe up pebs bts cid xtpr
which seems to indicate that the version -PAE should be installed and it was not been done by anaconda.
Finally, according to the web site I should be able to upgrade directly from 11 to 13. Is it really recommanded ?
Why I do not start from crash ? Because it required one week before my last installation of fedora 13 was properly operating !
In my view such a triple jump will take more time than doing a clean install of f13 and then setting configs for the new system and pulling in user areas from the older system.

Did you forget the --root parameter for "rpm"?
