Hi Mikkel,
I am not sure about what you said. Even not saying root (), grub should find the image if device.map is correct ? Anyway, I tried what you said by setting root (hd1,4), but stil it does only find the image on hd0,7 !!
What I am saying is that the root directive must point to where the kernel and initrd are on the disk. Do you have the vmlinuz-2.6.23.17-88.fc7 kernel in the /boot directory on /dev/sdb5?
I have the same /boot directory on both disks
this is the fstab
/dev/sdb5 / ext3 defaults 1 1 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sdb6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sdb10 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sdb11 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sdb9 /usr/src ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sdb7 /usr/lib ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sdb8 /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sdb12 /iso-image ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0

It might help if you post /etc/fstab of the new F7 install. You may have a separate /boot partition, and that will change things. In any case, when you update the kernel on either F7 install, you are going to have an interesting time booting until you update then kernel on the other one.
There are other ways to manage this, but lets take things one step at a time and get what you are trying here working, and you understanding what is going on.
One other point - you should really upgrade to a newer version - F9 or F10. F7 has not been supported for 6 months, and F8 is also unsupported now.
I will make the update, as soon as I will have understand what is going on.
Ths grub version in FC10 is almost the same as in FC7
