PreUpgrade from F13 to F15

• Test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Preupgrade_from_older_release
• Result: PASSED
• Details:
  • System boot and halt correctly.
  • Network configuration is the same.

Notes: Since F13 use PAE kernel by default, when I preugraded I get the F15 version of PAE kernel, so I've installed kernel package with the following:

# yum -y install kernel
# edit grub.conf
# reboot
# yum -y remove kernel-PAE
