I've hit a snag on upgrading my netbook to F17. Every time I go into
the upgrade section I get a dialog saying my root volume is dirty and to
reboot into linux, have it clean the FS and restart the upgrade.
Unfortunately, no matter how many times I've rebooted I keep getting the
dialog. I'm not really sure where to go from here except to manually
check the FS, but I can't fix any root volume errors since I have no way
of unmounting the FS on this machine.
Ideas?

Make sure the BIOS clock is correct and that your timezone is set
correctly.

I doubled checked it and it's set correctly. I suppose I could try to
scoot the time up a minute or two, but I'm not sure it'll work.
I did manage to get DMESG up when I got that dialog and I was seeing
entries like 'Volume mounted without journal' and then an SELinux
message. I did see some SELinux messages related to the HDD, but they
look rather innocuous. At this point, it's time for a bug report, I think.

The file contains one line and lists the options that you want to pass
to fsck. I use "-p" since my filesystem is ext3.
Did that, didn't fix it. In fact, after I get the dialog I went to
another terminal session on my netbook, unmounted the volume group and
did a full pvck, vgck and fsck and found no errors.
I'm at a complete loss. This shouldn't even be a problem, IMHO.

Maybe it's related to this?

If I read that correctly it states that I should see a F16 kernel loaded
when I start the F17 upgrade from GRUB. That's not the case for me. If
this isn't a correct assessment let me know.
So far, I've checked the LVM groups after I get that dialog box from a
second terminal and all of them are clean. So I don't get the problem.
And it's incredibly annoying.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Create a file in the root directory ("/") named "forcefsck". This
will
force fsck to run and clean the file systems when you reboot.
The file contains one line and lists the options that you want to pass
to fsck. I use "-p" since my filesystem is ext3.
