Craig responded:
boot F10 in runlevel 3
login as root
yum update mkinitrd
yum update
yum install system-config-display
system-config-display --reconfig
If you do all that, can run 'startx' and be happy, I suppose you are
good.

--------------------------------
jbyers:
all went ok except last,
system-config-display --reconfig
which fails with
Couldn't start X server on card 0
Error, failed to start X server.
tried it twice
once still using old kernel
once using new kernel
same result on both
the stanza does work now without scsimodescan
ie here is the new stanza, with new kernel,
as modified by me to remove scsimodscan
title Fedora (2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686) noscsimodescn
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=449a78aa-
d4d5-4e91-bf9c-5833d7218c8f 3
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686.img
this again allows booting to level 3
so Craig's update method has cured that problem.
I also did
useradd byers
passwd byers
and
yum install emacs
so at least i have a text editor i understand.
Any ideas on the failing X server?
