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.

HOME(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   HOME(8)

NAME
home, 40meg, 80meg, personalize, update, Disclabel - administration for local file systems SYNOPSIS
gnot/home gnot/personalize gnot/update magnum/home magnum/personalize magnum/update pc/40meg pc/80meg pc/personalize pc/update nextstation/home nextstation/update DESCRIPTION
These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk for a private machine. Home partitions a disk, copies the appropriate kernel to the disk, and makes a new file system on the disk. To do this, it overwrites the vendor-supplied software on the disk with a copy of Plan 9. 40meg, 80meg, and 100meg configure disks and make file systems for disks of the appropriate size. Update copies the current kernel to the disk and updates files on the local file system. It only updates those files put there by the home program. Personalize removes the contents of the /usr directory on the local disk and copies a minimal set of files for the user who runs the com- mand. The file /rc/bin/nextstation/Disclabel, despite its name, is not an rc(1) script. It contains the second stage bootstrap program for Nextstations booting from local disk. Before booting a Plan 9 Nextstation from disk, it should be installed in the partition /dev/hd1label; this is normally done by nexstation/home. FILES
/lib/proto/portproto Mkfs prototype files for magnum/home, magnum/update, gnot/home, and gnot/update. /lib/proto/386proto Mkfs prototype files for pc/40meg, pc/80meg, and pc/update. SOURCE
