F7 uses libata now, same as SATA, for all drives, even PATA drives,
which means that all drives are 'sd' now.
Try this:
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/hda1 vga=0x31b
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
title Fedora 7 (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=/dev/sdb1 vga=0x31b
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img
Same for both fstabs.
Good luck!
