Give your root partition a meaningful label, such as F8root, and put root=LABEL=F8root in your grub menu. Get rid of rhgb and quiet and maybe you'll see some clues about the problem in the startup messages. > I change the device.map from > (hd0) /dev/hda > to > (hd0) /dev/sda > and edited fstab from > LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 > to > /dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 1 1 > I have checked with e2label that all partitions are correctly named as well. Again, a more unique partition label would at least be a good idea. > Is there something else I have missed? Several kernel versions ago the HD drivers were moved out of the kernels into modules. Maybe your initrd doesn't have the modules you need for that PCI SATA device. Maybe the chip on that device is too new to have a driver.
