So:
sda1 = /home
sda5 = / (KK)
sda6 = / (F11)
sda7 = swap
sda8 = ?

F11 will have installed and activated grub 1, which does not recognize
ext4. So if sda5 is an ext4 partition, grub 1 will not detect it.

(1) Try to chainload KK's grub 2. I think that you will need to use
"rootnoverify" rather than "root".

rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
boot

OR

(2) Run
yum install grub2
to install grub 2 on your F11 partition.
