I ran into what sounds like tha same anaconda issue on an older Dell laptop 
and the "xdriver=vesa" option worked like a charm.  

I'm now running into an error when the upgrade finally starts.  After it 
tells you what discs are needed for the upgrade it tries to copy either the 
install image or new kernel (I can't remember what it says) and pops up an 
error dialog.  The suggestion is that the system may be out of space but 
that isn't the problem (30+ GB available).  I looked through the traceback 
for a minute but didn't see anything obvious.

I'll dig into it more this evening.
