F19 not able to boot by UUID

Hi all, I've had this problem with Fedora since I got this netbook, and have been able to fix it until F19 came along.  Here's my problem, for whatever reason the system can see the HDD and install just fine on my Gateway (Samsung) netbook but won't boot after install using the UUID.  With F16 and 17 I could do this at the GRUB prompt to fix the boot issue:

set prefix=(hd0,5)/boot/grub
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro
initrd /initrd.img
boot

I FUBAR'd my system by upgrading from 17 to 18 using fedup.  The upgrade boot option bombed and dropped into dracut.  At the time, I didn't have a need to investigate and when F19 was released I had hoped the problem would be fixed and upgraded to it from the bastardized F17/18 system.  Still no go. 

So, I blew away that partition and installed F19 fresh.  It still drops to dracut with the error 'UUID does not exist'.  I rather expected to be able to use the commands above to fix that but obviously the boot process isn't the same now as I'm getting '/boot/grub/i386-pc/linux.mod not found'  when I enter lines 3 and 4 above.

What can I do to fix this?
