F12 -> F14 Preupgrade Issue

I had a similar problem to this back in July when I tried to used
Preupgrade to move from F12 to F13. At the time I ran out of spare
time so I just stayed on F12. Now I'm trying to use Preupgrade to go
from F12 to F14 and I'm getting the same issue.

Preupgrade downloads all of the required data (so it's not a free
space issue). When I reboot and choose the Upgrade to Laughlin option
I get the message:

"Unable to find any device of the type needed for this installation
type. Would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver
disk."

There's an option to choose from a list of drivers. The list contains
all kinds of drivers - network cards, storage devices, probably others
- I don't know what I should be choosing.

If it helps, my disk layout is as follows:

$ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5            100790004   8666260  87003832  10% /
tmpfs                  4125644      3072   4122572   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda7            806346856 348886504 416500232  46% /data
/dev/sda6            251977516 153278152  85899140  65% /home

The PC is a Dell Studio XPS.

Any suggestions for fixing this would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Dave...
