</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
