If you do an ls in /boot directory, what do you see?
is the kernel in there,
config-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 System.map-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
config-2.6.23.12-52.fc7 System.map-2.6.23.12-52.fc7
grub/ vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img vmlinuz-2.6.23.12-52.fc7
initrd-2.6.23.12-52.fc7.img
What does
$ rpm -qa kernel
return?
kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
kernel-2.6.23.12-52.fc7
kernel-devel-2.6.23.12-52.fc7
kernel-doc-2.6.23.12-52.fc7
kernel-headers-2.6.23.12-52.fc7

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
