First off, I tried follow the steps mentioned in http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/F12_to_F14_update
Failed when running the "preupgrade-cli "Fedora 14 (Laughlin)"" command:

Fedora 13 and above has a 500 MB default boot partition. The default /boot filesystem size of 200MB for previous releases can be a problem for users upgrading from that release. In many cases, the diskspace that is likely free is just enough for preupgrade to find enough space to download the installer to but not quite enough for it to run the installer and install the new kernel after reboot. This section outlines several tips that have been known to work. As always when performing administrative tasks, be sure to back-up any data before proceeding.
There are two basic methods to make preupgrade work in this situation. In the first method, you need to free up sufficient space for the installer to install the new kernel packages. In the second method, you need to temporarily fill up enough of the space on /boot to force preupgrade to download the installer after rebooting.I've followed the steps in PreUpgrade-method at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PreUpgrade, but without success.
Neither Method 1 and Method 2 under "Not enough space in /boot"-chapter won't do the trick.

Then I tried the "Upgrade your Distro"-method found in the WiKi here: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Upgrade_your_Distro
Downloaded the x86 DVD iso, burned it to a disk and booted it successfully, the first thing that appears is:
- Press the <ENTER> key to begin the installation process.
When I press Enter on my keyboard nothing happens, though the CTRL+ALT+DEL command works, so the issue is not the keyboard itself.
I've tried several USB ports and PS/2 connection.
I'm getting pretty frustrated since I've been trying to upgrade for hours already. After a bit of googling I found the following instructions on how to grow the /boot/ partition: http://www.drupaler.co.uk/blog/updating ... ora-13/507 , but it feels a bit overwhelming and not quite error-safe if you know what I mean.
There must be someone else having the same issue, how did the upgrade went for you?
