My assumed scenario is that you move two disks with fedora already installed into the same machine for any number of reasons. I move disks around all the time so the situation is not at all unusual. But if you need help imagining why this would happen, assume that one of the computers breaks and you want to salvage the contents of the disk by adding it to your own PC. Or you just want to re-format and re-use the disk as an added filesystem. Yes, you can work around the problem with quite a lot of extra trouble, assuming you understand what the problem is in the first place. Now remind me why I want to have this extra trouble in the first place. Why should a machine refuse to boot just because you add an extra drive?
I see now, 2 drives at the same time is key point. I agree with your point, booting should be possible. Curious: why not just make the grub configuration use device ID's instead of labels? -Mauriat
