wow - way too much signature

did you check out
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/en_US/sn-Installer.html#Upgrade-Related-Issues

also probably of more significance, just slightly above the anchor
linked above...


5.1. Changes in Anaconda
      * Many minor user interface changes:
        
              * Ability to select the boot drive
                
              * Advanced storage options, including the ability to add
                an iSCSI target and disable dmraid devices
                
              * The time zone page includes a magnification slider to
                zoom into different areas of the world when choosing
                location
                
      * Improved Live images support
        
      * Ability to install from Live image running from RAM or USB stick
        
      * Improved IEEE-1394 (Firewire) support
        
      * Improved installation for Sony PlayStation 3
        
      * French keyboard layout uses latin9
        
      * Improved kickstart installation
        
      * Use of /dev/hdX is deprecated on i386 and and x86_64 for IDE
        drives, and has changed to /dev/sdX except on PPC. See note
        about the importance of labeling devices for upgrades from FC6.
        
This last point is probably very significant for you
