Change this line to:

 	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.14_FC2 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
psmouse.proto=bare

>> 	initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.14_FC2.img

You can also test this without changing grub.conf by editing this line
from grub during the boot process.  When the grub menu appears, hit an
arrow key to stop the timer (you have 10 seconds based on the timeout in
your grub.conf).  Once the timer is stopped, you'll have time to read
the text under the available boot options.  What you want to do is
select the one you want to edit (most likely the top one) and hit the
letter <a>.  Type the stuff you want to add at the end (the psmouse
stuff) and hit enter.
