I can't find something wrong in your grub.cfg. What do you see when you try to boot, are there any errors / is there any related output on the screen when it fails?
Have you looked into device.map, if your devices are listed correct?
If you want to boot from absolute device, write "root=/dev/sda2" into your grub.cfg.
If this is not working either and nobody has a clue what's going on, I would try to reinstall grub2 via grub2-install, after booting from an external media. You can avoid chrooting by using the --root-device parameter. Mount your root-partition on /mnt:
grub2-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
I'm not quite shure it is a problem with dracut, but without any further information it will be impossible to be more precise.
Trying to do grub2-install from the F17 Live CD. I think I need to mount both / and /boot. Then I'd use --boot-directory to point to /boot. But I'm puzzled about how to specify /root. --root-directory is now deprecated in favor of --efi-directory. But that's specific for UEFI, whatever that is.
