Upgrading to the newest Fedora release

I don't use Fedora so I'm not sure what kernel versions it used in previous releases, but the SATA issue could be because a few kernel versions ago, the hardware naming convention changed such that even PATA (IDE) devices were named like SATA ones in /dev. So for example, the whereas the first IDE HD before might have been /dev/hda and your SATA Blu-Ray burner /dev/sda, with the new kernel, they probably moved to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, respectively. With that in mind, you probably have to change your /etc/fstab and/or your burning programs to reflect these changes.
