I can't seem to find this in the current Beats, and people keep asking
me about it:
One of the features of the new kernel is this:
New parallel ATA (IDE) drivers that use the same libata infrastructure
as the SATA drivers.
One side effect of this work is that /dev/hdX devices will change
to /dev/sdY. That shouldn't be a problem if you are mounting devices by
label (which Fedora has done by default for a long time) but otherwise
it may cause problems.
Some details are on davej's blog here:

Hope that helps.
