This all seems to be according to the grub documentation. However, my
9.3 installation (with /boot == hda1 and / == hda2) has this instead:

gfxmenu (hd0,0)/message
title SUSE LINUX 9.3
    kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ...
    initrd (hd0,0)/initrd

I would suggest the same to you, as follows:

title ...
    kernel  (hd0,7)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 ...
    initrd    (hd0,7)/initrd
