Upgrading to Beta might not work. Try upgrading to Rawhide instead. Rawhide is basically the Preview Release right now, and it's got a much newer Anaconda that has fixes for a bunch of these problems. You might want to clear out the caches first, just to be 100% sure: rm -rf /var/cache/yum/anaconda-upgrade /boot/upgrade -w
