You appear to be having hardware problems. From your anaconda dump file: <4>hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } <4>hdb: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=20032845, high=1, low=3255629, sector=20032845 <4>ide: failed opcode was: unknown
The drive is up and running as an FC3 system.
When you run dmesg after booting into your FC3 system, are you seeing the same sorts of error messages as I found in your anacdump.txt file?
dmesg shows now errors: Probing IDE interface ide0... hda: ST320011A, ATA DISK drive hdb: Maxtor 6E010L0, ATA DISK drive Using cfq io scheduler ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: LTN486S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 Probing IDE interface ide2... ide2: Wait for ready failed before probe !

This does look like faulty hardware. Following is a list of things you could check for http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HardwareProblems
