In the case of an upgrade, SELinux might also be a problem.

Here are the two things I would try:

1) make sure that your file system is labeled with the correct
    security contexts:  (note, this takes a while and is a CPU hog!)

 		 restorecon -Rv /

2) if the previous step does not do the trick, you can try putting
    SELinux in "permissive" mode:

 		echo 0 > /selinux/enforce
