In my opinion, you should still show us evidence that your f11 etc/fstab has[had] the same UUID as shown in your f11 stanza. [If during your sda2,sdb2 experiments you erased the line[s] with UUIDs that the f11 installer put in fstab, we cant tell, but if you just commented out the installer lines that is ok for this purpose]. It would also be useful to see results of # blkid you can run this from your f10. In my experience, the UUID is also embedded internal to the initrd.img and this also should be consistent with the UUID in grub.conf to see this embedded UUID, you have to unpack the initrd.img and examine the 'init' file. Here is how I do it on my f11 [root@localhost ~]# mkdir clean [root@localhost ~]# cd clean [root@localhost clean]# pwd /root/clean [root@localhost clean]# cp /boot/bootf11usb3/initrd-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE.img .
