grub.conf hosed after kernel update

Hi there. On the same system that I had the incomplete transaction
message from yum there was another problem.

After a kernel update the system would not boot.   It was left with a
blank screen with the cursor in the upper left corner.

I booted with a gparted CD, was able to mount drives and grub.conf
looked like this:

title Fedora (2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE ro
root=UUID=8f4d59d1-603d-4c40-9d55-350173ba34ba rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM
rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
KEYTABLE=us video=vesafb nomodeset
title Fedora (2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE ro
root=UUID=8f4d59d1-603d-4c40-9d55-350173ba34ba rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM
rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
KEYTABLE=us video=vesafb nomodeset
        initrd /initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE.img

Note that there is no initrd line for the new kernel.  The initramfs
file was there, it just wasn't added to grub.conf.  Adding the initrd
line fixed the problem.

This has been fixed, just thought this might help someone else, and
wonder if I should file a BZ about this problem.
