What error message are you getting? Also please attach /etc/fstab from your running system to this bug report.
Created attachment 235141 [details] As requested copy of fstab from working Fedora 7 system
Please note I do not get an error message , but when trying an upgrade from a working Fedora 7 system. the installer reports that it has _only_ found a working system on /dev/sdb1, which you can see from /etc/fstab is the swap partition. Most confusing.
So I've just recreated your above scenario, going from an F-7 box with that partitioning setup upgrading to F-8 and it finds the F-7 installation on /dev/sda1. Looks like it's either WORKSFORME or we managed to fix it. I'll mark it as WORKSFORME since there may be some other oddities at work here.
