What're the difference between your machine and this other machine in terms of 
SATA controller ? To me it looks like, drivers of SATA controller are missing 
from the initrd.

|

|         root (hd0,6)
|         kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.1 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
|         initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.1.img
|

No need to change LABEL. Fedora uses LABEL and Ubuntu uses UUID to generically 
identify disks irrespective of their order in the system.

|
| also i reinstalled grub using grub-install /dev/sda --recheck
|
| I also used the process given on page.

|
| the good thing is that if i attach this hard disk to my pc again it works
| fine ..
|
|
| any solution to prob...

The solution would be to package all SATA controller drivers in your initrd. 
So that your Fedora installation will boot on all possible configurations. 
Checkout man page of mkinitrd(8).
