Ok.. thanks. I am starting to figure that out. My vectra had a cable
select IDE cable, hence my confusion.
So this is definitely a fedora/grub/installation problem then.

No such thing as wrong order on the ide cable, that is the reason
for ide master/slave jumpers on ide devices, the device settings
not the position on ide cable determine which device is first and
which is second.
