Hi Joachim,
did now the full installation chain in legacy mode (mediawriter - iso -
F26 Beta 1.3 build) all worked fine.
If You think it's the usb stick, test with F3. If I get problems with
one of my usb sticks, I make a new partition table on the stick with
gparted, if gparted can not delete a fedora partition, I try a new
Fedora install on this stick and interrupt this process, before the new
data are written, by doing this afterwards gparted always "repaired" an
usb stick which had only a SW corruption and no hardware defect.
Kind regards Joerg

This is before media check runs.

So your failure is happening at the 2nd step, you're still in the
bootloader. This is almost certainly a USB stick problem. I'd just
write the image again and maybe it'll fix itself as a transient
failure. If not, the try another stick.
Hi Joerg,
now I could boot from the USB stick. I think, the reason was my
impatience: Loading initrd.img needed about *3 minutes* to finish, and
after this, my box proceeded to the F26 Live system as expected :-)
