Hi Phil
I also had that problem today,

What I did as a  work around is this,
echo "#!/bin/bash" > /etc/rc.modules
echo "/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.modules
chmod +x /etc/rc.modules

Then upgrade your udev to udev_039-10.FC3.6_i386.rpm

edit the grub.conf file with this
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.681_FC3)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet 
hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi

presuming they are both on the secondary IDE channel

otherwise work it out like this:

Primary ==> master = hda
primary ==> slave = hdb
secondary ==> master = hdc
secondary ==> slave = hdd

if it is scsi or SATA then someone else will have to help you here

Oh and then reboot

Hope you have the success I had

cheers
