thanks guys for your efforts.
Some information:
- update on his system was done via rpm (not so easy) without using
force or
other drastic parameters
- I've considered the alternate disk repository, but it seems
complicated by
using also livna packages... I'll investigate more in this sense
For the future :)
As long as one of the packages that you want to update from the
fedora-updates repo mirror (that you have on the disk) does not cause a
livna one to need to be updated, you can use --exclude and --disablerepo
i.e.,
yum --disablerepo=livna --exclude=pkgFromLivna \
--exclude=anotherPkgFromLivna \
--exclude=aFedoraUpdatePkgRequireingLivnaUpdate update
and then decide later on the need to to update specific packages you
excluded.
- after the log provided there were no other errors or messages on
both PCs
- for the output provided I was connected as gcecchi in gnome on my PC
and
in a terminal I did a "su -"
- on both pcs' logs the uid is 500 because it is the first one created
different from root (gcecchi in my case, luca in his case)
- gcecchi is not a member of root group
- no entry at all in fstab for sdb or /media fs on both pc
I'm going to compare
ls /etc/udev/rules.d
ls /etc/hal
between the two stations and report.
Sounds like a good plan.
In the mean time, thanks for your time.

As I recall how you started this thread,
you installed a F8 alpha/beta and upgraded to F8, which _should_ at
worst be equivalent from upgrading from F7 to F8. And I do not see[1]
any place that I would expect you to be getting problems from[2]. I
think you may have two hopes 1) you find a delta in /etc/[udev|hal] 2)
one of the folks working on LiveUpgrade[3] catches wind of this message
and makes a few comments.
If it happens you find a delta in /etc/[udev|hal] please post, as it
could help.

[2] Unless the machine is running in x86_64 mode, and I don't know how
to check if it is.

Arg... just had one of those OUCH thoughts.
you should probably check /etc/yum.repos.d/* files and see if development (for
both fedora and livna) is still enabled or if only fedora and fedora-updates
are enabled.
i.e.,
grep -e enabled -e "^\[" /etc/yum.repos.d/*
