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 at localhost ~]# mkdir clean
[root at localhost ~]# cd clean
[root at localhost clean]# pwd
/root/clean
[root at localhost clean]# cp
/boot/bootf11usb3/initrd-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE.img .
[root at localhost clean]# ls
initrd-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE.img
[root at localhost clean]# gunzip -c initrd-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE.img | cpio -i
13701 blocks
[root at localhost clean]# ls
bin etc initrd-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE.img proc sys usr
dev init lib sbin sysroot
[root at localhost clean]# less init
near the end look for "mkrootdev" line:
echo Creating root device.
mkrootdev -t ext3 -o defaults,ro UUID=54c84c0a-040b-43bd-8887-202519baaae2
