Hi,
I'm going to be rebooting my box shortly to the latest (and greatest) rawhide kernel. Last time I did this, I was met with errors about drives not being found.
Having looked through the -test list, I find this is down to the way the kernel is behaving and that I need to rename my drives.
Currently, I have a pile of /dev/hdX's in my fstab file. Do I just rename these as /dev/sdX and what do I need to do in my grub file to get things to work?
TTFN

Yes, except for cd/dvd's. rename srX.
Or you can mess around with Label= stuff. I don't.

I use labels but still had problems until mkinitrd was fixed for handling labels. My awkwardness is getting used to using mount /dev/sdx instead of /dev/hdx.
If you use device names and ever boot into an fc6 kernel or earlier than that kernel, it will fail as it does for you now with trying to get fc7 kernels to boot.
I want to see if my lvm contained swap volume works with the fc6 but not the fc7 kernel. With labels, it is safe to boot either kernel version.
Anyway, for the device names, changing the /dev/hdx to /dev/sdx should work for you. If you have device entries in grub.conf referencing hdx devices, they will need revised also to sdx.
