After a few tests I discovered that the F7 boot partition was

re-did the grub thing from the rescue CD and here I am back on F7 :-)
The Grub problem is because both boot partitions are partition 6.
I will fix this tomorrow.
Do you mean grub.conf was messed up (and pointed both installs to
(hd0,5))?
No! F7 is on an ide hard drive. F8 is on a SATA hard drive. But
alas, the boot partitions are both (hd?,5) and with my odd BIOS F7 was
never selected. I will have to move boot to another partition on
either hard drive. Then see if it works.
Oh, okay - that's not so bad then :)
Grub is supposed to see one of the drives as (hd0) and another one as
(hd1). These correspond to physical drives. If you have more than 2
physical drives, it might be (hd2), etc...
If you used the BIOS to switch between drives (selecting primary boot
drive), then grub will probably change the names around, be careful!
