+</I>&gt;<i> - you don't have any reference to sdb anywhere, all should be sda.
+</I>hmm, my disks are attched to a pci controller card because the mobo sata ports
+don't support the newer sataIII disk, the card bios reports the boot drive as
+drive 0 and if i swap the disks over then i don't even see the grub menu,
+reading about dracut i find:
+--------
+Therefore, instead of scripts hard-coded to do various things, we depend on
+udev to create device nodes for us and then when we have the rootfs's device
+node, we mount and carry on.
+---------------
+this seems to be the problem, upon booting and selectng the grub entry i get
+the usual on screen messages if i press esc. to get a verbose boot, all the
+way until a message about the root filesystem, a message about udev and then
+the message about not starting boot splash,
+
+i shall try to force a new imge using dracut
