Don't know about Fedora 21, but if I just look at the entire set of
options pertaining to a kernel, instead of using your grep command line,
in the Fedora 20 /etc/grub2.cfg file, I can see other things that are
different between booting normally or in rescue mode.  You might want to
filter what you look at less.  And there are different files in /boot,
for each.
