Was this a fresh install or an upgrade ?

What is sdc then ?

Is this an instance of dev naming changes that occurred at F7, ie
/dev/hdX now /dev/sdY {where X not necesarily = Y}
Actually it doesn't. The reference to /dev/sdc is simply a comment, even
though it's wrong, but both versions are using (hd0,0). What is more
interesting is that your edited version has root on /dev/sda3. Is this
consistent with the partition you have marked as bootable (see fdisk)?

- grub root (?) must point to the location of the grub files ie usually
the /boot partition.
- the kernel root= line must point to the os / partition.
so the change you made is to not use the UUID, but rather the partition
indicator ?
perhaps it doesn't match the partitions UUID ?
