nothing happens when booting kernel

I have a Fedora 9 installation. The initial kernel worked fine. Then I did a yum update and one of the new updates was a new kernel, but when I tried to reboot with that kernel it won't do anything. The same exact thing happens with the latest kernel in yum.

If I take the vga= line out of my grub command I can get the following:
Code:
Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF...Done
Booting Kernel ....

Aperture beyond 4GB Ignoring

Kernel Alive

That's it, nothing else. No HD activity, nothing. If I leave the vga= line in there then after grub I just get a blank screen.

Here's my grub.conf..
Code:
default=0
timeout=15
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.27.5-41.fc9.x86_64)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-41.fc9.x86_64 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet vga=0x31A selinux=0
	initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5-41.fc9.x86_64.img
title Fedora (2.6.26.6-79.fc9.x86_64)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.6-79.fc9.x86_64 ro root=UUID=3c047f95-6124-4d87-85cd-8ffdb34f4f44 rhgb quiet vga=0x31A selinux=0	
	initrd /initrd-2.6.26.6-79.fc9.x86_64.img
title Fedora (2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 ro root=UUID=3c047f95-6124-4d87-85cd-8ffdb34f4f44 rhgb quiet vga=0x31A selinux=0
	initrd /initrd-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64.img
[root@spiderpig ~]#

I've tried with both the UUID= gunk and the /dev/whatever stuff as well. Both do the same exact thing.
