I do not get prompted to validate the media. I dump directly to the
'Choose a language' screen in text mode.
Okay, I see now. Assuming you are already in stage#2 [1] of the install
process, it may have failed to initialize X and offered text-mode
instead. Can you confirm that is the case (if you have a shell on
tty2 .. you are in stage#2)?
Once confirmed, I would recommend repeating the test against RC3 when
available. A similar issue was resolved for my test systems using
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.
If the problem remains, please log this issue in bugzilla against the
your X driver. There is a guide available [2] to help grab all the
necessary data for the bug report. If you are able to, I would
recommend completing the install in text-mode and debugging the issue
from the installed system.

tty3 only says:

I don't have an anaconda.log from a CD/DVD install handy. Perhaps just
validate that you are booting a CD or DVD (and not the netinst.iso or
boot.iso).
Thanks,
