My Desktop is used for productive environment. I do not want to reinstall OS now. And I do not restore the logs before. So I want to do it after Fedora 6 Beta releases.
Maybe we should look for another UEFI-only system to test it.

your system is a BIOS system -- not EFI. You should open a bug report
and include the following log files from within the installer's runtime
environment:
/tmp/anaconda.log
/tmp/syslog
/tmp/program.log
/tmp/storage.log
