I've always wondered:
If I have F8 and do frequent "yum update" s
do I have essentially F9 when F9 arrives!
Perhaps some root change in F9 cannot be transmitted by yum???

I have seen that exact symptom twice, on different versions of Fedora. In both cases, the system involved ended up having memory errors.
It may be time for a memtest on the system you are trying to install to.
Thanks for the suggestion. The system is nearly a year old, and I haven't previously noticed any symptoms which might indicate that, but next time I boot I will run memtest just to be sure.
In any case I ended up using yum to bring the system up to F9. That went fine.
