Run blkid as root and make sure all your disks have the correct UUID
in /etc/fstab.  You should be mounting them using UUID instead of
device name or label.

Here is a sample from my fstab:

#/dev/sda1
UUID=c6e94dd5-0cc3-4940-ac15-cb0ea856fd9a /boot ext3 defaults  1 2 
#/dev/sda5 
UUID=c94b5547-e098-45ca-8776-cce0e0cd6bac / ext4 defaults      1 1

Maybe you are already doing this. 

Compare the F10 and F11 /etc/fstab for these disks.  Make sure the
mount points are unique.

You could check for bugs like this in bugzilla.
