I see four differences; somewhat in order of severity:
- no initrd line
- root should be set to LABEL=/ instead of /dev/hda1
- missing rhgb option
What does this option do? Is it required or optional?
- missing quiet option
What bootloader are you using on the Fedora partition? Could you send us
its configuration file?

That is not an installer issue. Suggest you file a separate bug report
against the relevant package with details.
