Although I haven't upgraded to F7 yet I understand from a previous
posting that F7 now uses a different device driver (?) for hard drives
so that IDE/SATA drives are /dev/sd? and USB/Firewire is something
else now (I forget off hand).  You don't see /dev/hd? in F7 from what
I understood.

See http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/en_US/sn-Kernel.html
for more info on that.
