that`s new for me..

sdb did the trick for me.
thanx for clearing this up.

perhaps a good idea to add this in the fedora core 7 information / readme / faq or whatever is used to provide users with information about fedora.

The rawhide kernel uses the new PATA/IDE subsystem, which (like the SATA

To sum up:

/dev/hdX = old and busted
/dev/sdX = new hotness
