I can report that on my laptop (Sony Vaio SA3), starting from a clean
Fedora 16 x86_64 install and pulling kernel, kernel-devel and gcc from
updates-testing (I have to compile acpi_call to turn off my new "fusion"
AMD card), the upgrade went without a hitch.

Answering Dan's SELinux suggestion -- I tried doing the migration with
enforcing=0 -- at the next boot it still tries to relabel the filesystem
(I aborted once and booted with selinux=0 to verify everything is
working, and am now doing the relabeling).

Does the usrmove script have to be modified, perhaps?
