One additional request: it's unclear right now (and we don't have available hardware to test) if there is also a failure happening on 64- bit AMD systems that are running on i686 Fedora. If someone out there has access to hardware that hits BZ #1263762, would you please try installing Fedora 22 i686, updating to all the latest stable packages, plus dnf-plugin-system-upgrade from updates- testing and then do an upgrade using the supported mechanism[1] and verify whether A) the upgrade runs or aborts, leaving F22 present and B) if it completes the upgrade, is the system bootable and runnable. This will help us figure out how serious to rate this issue. (For new installs, we can probably advocate simply using the 64-bit media; for existing installs, irrecoverably breaking on upgrade could be a show- stopper).
