what I mean is this: _if_ a kernel works without these parameters then this is preferrable. The kernel that is installed from the DVD is normally older than the one you have on a fully updated system, and RedHat keeps fixing bugs and improving hardware compatibility. So there is some chance that you might be able to get rid of these parameters with later kernels.

Of course if you have problems with the kernel after removing those parameters, you have to boot again from the DVD _with_ those parameters, go into "linux rescue", mount the disk, and edit grub.conf to put them back. A bit tedious but straightforward.

HTH,

If grub is still working, you can edit grub at the boot screen (type 'e' to edit) to get yourself booted and then fix grub.conf after you successfully boot. You shouldn't have to get out the DVD to fix grub.conf unless something is hosed with the kernel itself (and editing grub.conf isn't going to help you).
