Seems the grub that centos-5 installed didn't quite manage to get your fc7t2
boot option right, see details inline below.

This piece of grub config is not right for your FC7T2 install. It assumes that
there is a 2nd boot-loader living on /dev/hda1 (hd0,0 in grub speak). Change
it to something more like (you'll have to find the exact names and paths
yourself):
title FC7T2
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinux...fc7 ro root= ...
initrd /boot/initrd-...img
good luck,
Peter
