wow - way too much signature
did you check out
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/en_US/sn-Installer.html#Upgrade-Related-Issues
also probably of more significance, just slightly above the anchor
linked above...
5.1. Changes in Anaconda
* Many minor user interface changes:
* Ability to select the boot drive
* Advanced storage options, including the ability to add
an iSCSI target and disable dmraid devices
* The time zone page includes a magnification slider to
zoom into different areas of the world when choosing
location
* Improved Live images support
* Ability to install from Live image running from RAM or USB stick
* Improved IEEE-1394 (Firewire) support
* Improved installation for Sony PlayStation 3
* French keyboard layout uses latin9
* Improved kickstart installation
* Use of /dev/hdX is deprecated on i386 and and x86_64 for IDE
drives, and has changed to /dev/sdX except on PPC. See note
about the importance of labeling devices for upgrades from FC6.
This last point is probably very significant for you

Hi Craig No signature this time.
The file is labeled sda1 label = "/boot" not as hdd1 as shown
in your reference. also sdb is not shown at all in /sbin/blkid command
Hi Matt
I do not understand. where do I put your "try appending
'edd=skipmbr' to the kernel command"
I am loading a DVD for initial installation, Then "Boot Now" it
says 210 updates available so I select to install then again I get
"Boot now" this is selected and the it hangs.
Cheers Derek
