I followed these instructions and made preupgrade. First problem came after reboot. The installation seemed to stopped to screen with odd red points and white points which were actually mouse pointer. So, a bit of googling and I added 'nomodeset' to kernel options in grub for installation entry in menu.lst.
Now the installation went through, but after boot I got message 'no bootable disk found'. The solution for this was to select shell option from rEFIt menu and run gptsync. New reboot and now I got this 'GRUB _' screen and nothing else. Well, this was already familiar situation and the solution was to boot from installation CD in rescue mode and run 'grub-install /dev/sda3'
So now the Fedora 11 was running, but I found out that running X jammed the system, whether it was xfce4 or just twm. I installed latest intel video drivers, configure xorg.conf and in one phase reinstalled pretty much everything that was related to x11 and finally I got twm running without problems.
Fedora 11 includes also newer gcc so there was problems compling vdr and its plugins. I had to make some patching here and there and I will post the patches later. I also had to rewrite the vdr starting script as I put the vdr start earlier to queue in services starting (/etc/rc.d/rc3.d). Now the vdr startup script tries to start X if it is not running already.
I had to make udev rule for built-in IR-receiver as it seemed to randomly exist as /dev/usb/hiddev0 or hiddev1 and of course lirc won't work if device is wrong.
Now the system is pretty much in the same shape than before the update, except that the boot up time from pressing the power button to live picture to show up takes 55 seconds.
Btw, the fix candidate didn't work so waking up from suspend is still not working properly.
