cant upgrade F13 to F14

[Jim Cromie]

Anaconda is telling me I have a dirty partition, and to reboot cleanly,
which Ive done several times.  The broken aspect here is that
anaconda is complaining about /dev/sda1, which is the Dell Utility
partition, which should *not* be involved.

heres the partition table of the drive holding currrent F13 install

Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf0000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1           6       48163+  de  Dell Utility
/dev/sda2   *           7        1271    10156032    7  HPFS/NTFS

/dev/sda4           62450      121602   475132928    5  Extended
/dev/sda5           62451       62514      512000   83  Linux
/dev/sda6           62514      121602   474618880   8e  Linux LVM


Is this prob due to boot flag on sda2 ?
Grub has no problem booting sda2 or sda5

Given that the problem is supposedly with the Dell Utility partition,
I regard this as a reportable bug in anaconda.
Concur ?
Any workarounds ?
