The FC8 install seems to assign drive identifiers in some random orderinstead of BIOS order. I thought that was fixed back around 2.6.17, butit certainly isn't the case AFAIK, if I boot the rescue CD I get one setof assignments (not BIOS order), and if I boot I get another. Needlessto say this makes getting a bootable install nearly impossible.

Device scanning is asynchronous now, and drives may come up in *any*order, potentially changing even across reboots even with no changes tosoftware or hardware. This is why we use labels and uuids.
