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.

Arg... just had one of those OUCH thoughts.

i.e.,
grep -e enabled -e "^\[" /etc/yum.repos.d/*
