Thanks, Aaron. I've installed Ubuntu just to get some work done, but
now I want to get F7 running. Ubuntu's grub has this (I think the same
as F7's grub) for booting F7:

root (hd0,0)
kernel /bot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/ [rhgb quiet
(this I removed)]
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img
savedefault
boot

Looks right to me: root (hd0,0) should be the first (only) disk, and
the first partition. That's where F7 is: sda1. The Ubuntu grub line is
(hd0,1), on sda2, and it works so I know that the hd0 part is right.

Might the problem be that I'm not using LVM? I don't like LVM, and I
prefer regular partitions. I set these partitions up with the Ubuntu
installer, a few distro hops ago, and I've yet to have a problem with
it. I'm pretty sure that FC6 was on this partition setup, without LVM.
