Take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq, specifically 
the FC6 -> F7 part. Of course, any version earlier than FC6 will also 
suffer the same problem.

 From that page: "Fedora 7 replaces the old IDE subsystem with libata. 
Drive device names which previously started /dev/hd.. will become 
/dev/sd.. after the upgrade. /dev/hda1 will usually become /dev/sda1 
although there may not be a direct relationship between the old and new 
device names, hdd will not necessarily become sdd for example."
