You ran preupgrade, and then reboot, but the actual upgrade phase has
not happened yet, correct?
Try to modify f12 upgrade kernel command line also adding at the end
something like

xdriver=vesa nomodeset


and see if it goes better...

Thanks, I will try (that computer is at a location I am usually only
on Thursdays. Sicne next week is Thanksgiving, this means again in two
weeks).

What do you mean the upgrade has not happened yet? I am assuming it has.

I also figured out that if you remove "rhgb" and "quiet", there is
some text, and it goes as far as jexec starting avahi or something
like that, and then the screen flickers for a few seconds, and then it
stops and nothing more happens. Until I press the power button briefly
(pressing it longer would cut power) and then the system seems to shut
down orderly.

Before I get to the point where it stops, it says something like
welcome to Fedora, press "I" for interactive setup, but even if I hold
my finger on "i" (or shift and "i") all the time, it never becomes
interactive.

Take care
Oliver
