Patrick,
Can you remove the line
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.12-52.fc7 ro
root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
selinux=0
so that it matches the
title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
one. If you have done that, and it did not work, then there might be something wrong with the initrd/or something else.
Regards,
Antonio
