Hm, I should have tested that. But at the moment I don't want to because
I would have to reinstall. Maybe I install a development shapshot of FC6

Does someone know from where GNOME gets the information for its drive
listing?

This is not the case here. My drives are identified by /dev/sd*.
/dev/hd* does not work.
