I tried upgrading from Fedora 19 to 20. When the System Upgrade task starts I get a failure around /run/initramfs (it moves fast). Then it boots back to Fedora 19. Any thoughts on how to debug?

There are several threads on this at fedoraforum.org. One suggestion is to update fedup to version 0.8 and try again.

Detail version is here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2013-December/000842...
It includes renaming two folders so that files downloaded with 0.7 don't have to be redownloaded by 0.8.

Thanks much for this, my success with fedup has been so slight (worked 1 of 11) that I have gone to the yum upgrade route. So far 4 for 4. I like yum better, it puts the rpms where they get updated to my local repository, that makes every future upgrade or update faster, as any package I download is only pulled once.

You can do this trivially with fedup as well. Just copy /var/lib/system-upgrade after you run fedup but before you reboot and start the upgrade process.
