Huh? I don't think you understand the syntax of the grub.conf file.
If you want to boot with those parameters, they should go on the end
of your kernel line. So you should have an entry like:
title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.770_FC3)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 ro root=/dev/VolGroup/slash
initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.770_FC3.img
This is using a /boot partition and a logical volume, so things may be
a little different in your case. Anyway, stick your parameters you
want ("nofb noprobe skipddc") after the last thing on the line that
begins with "kernel" You probably have multiple entries like this
too, so be sure to change the one that you boot, or do it to all of
them to be safe. Be sure to remove the option "rhgb" if it is there.
Sorry if you understood this, but that wasn't clear from your post.
