thank you, idid not know that

I did not use norhgbquiet as an option, just as a phrase in title
I removed all of "rhgb quiet" for this stanza

sda1 is the entire f10 / , no separate /boot partition,
is that a problem?
I trying to not use LVM

sda3 is being used for another ancient rh8 linux
for a legacy app and should be playing no role
in my problems here
booted into fc5 I have sda1 mounted on /f10liv
root@bootp ~]# mount
/dev/sdb6 on / type ext3 (rw)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)

I explicitly said they are scsi disks in one of my responses
