I solved this problem by disabling my exchange account
while in f10, then booting to f11, accepting the test release
warning with the check box checked saying don't warn me
again, then re-enabling exchange.  There seemed to be
some sort of deadlock between the two windows.  Anyway,
that's a workaround if you have two partitions.  I don't think
I'll file a bug report on the deadlock since the warning will
go away when released.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
