I wonder if this is caused by the F8 kernels treating everything as
a SCSI drive. Did you do the install with the USB drives plugged in?
I could see the installer including the usb_storage module in the
initrd in that case. I believe it would then be included in later
initrds created when you install newer kernels. But I still don't
know why the USB drives would be scanned before the SATA drive. You
would think that the SATA driver would be SCSI controller 0, and the
USB drives SCSI controllers 1 and 2.
