We have noticed a couple times that if /boot is very full BEFORE
preupgrade downloads anything, it will prompt to do a network based
preupgrade which works well.
We are now planning to always slam junk into /boot before running
preupgrade :)
The networked version should ALWAYS show as an option, in my opinion.
Good Luck!
