one of who things bit you...

partitions must be labeled, looks like your partitions are labeled but I
am including here for completeness...(started Fedora 7)

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/en_US/sn-Installer.html#Upgrade-Related-Issues

drives are no longer using /dev/hdX designations, but using /dev/sdX
designations (probably have to edit /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf
by booting in 'linux rescue mode' and fixing these files)

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f8/en_US/sn-Installer.html#sn-Changes-in-Anaconda

The latter appears to be your issue
