Not sure. You can always ask at #anaconda IRC channel or anaconda-devel mailing list:
https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
You can also report a bug against anaconda or dracut in
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ .
Since I am the only one having this problem I did the following:
I went back and tried to upgrade to F22 using the same method. It worked
as expected.
I then tried to upgrade to F23. This time it worked. I must have had a
setting that was incorrect that I missed finding.
I should have been able to find the problem without having to post.
Thanks to all for the input.
