is much simpler than the various solutions offered would suggest.

Why not post your /etc/grub.conf and /etc/fstab ?

I've already posted them:

-> /etc/fstab
LABEL=Cata / ext3 defaults 1 1
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0

-> /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=7
splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=LABEL=Cata
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img

I didn't tried that because at the boot time the first lines are:
root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type is 0x83
so I was thinking grub saw that my root partition is ok.
Anyway, I tried now grub completion, and it keeps telling me:
Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist
It complains about /boot/vmlinuz[...] filename, but when I hit Tab after 'vmlinuz' word the filename appears automatically. Then, when I hit Tab again it gives me that error, and it keeps telling me about that everything I'm trying to do.
