I think a big part of your remaining problem is that you did not update your grub.conf to reflect the BIOS mapping. Because of this, Grub is looking for its files in the wrong place. If you change all the hd2's to hd0's, things should work better. You will have to run setup from the grub prompt, or run grub-install after booting from the Linux drive. This because Grub uses the BIOS to access the drive, so your config file has to reflect the BIOS mapping. When you boot from the Linux drive, the drive becomes hd0 instead of hd2. You should not need any map directives, and the kernel should boot fine because you are a label to define the Linux root directory.
