F12 installation problem

I'm trying to use x86_64 network install CD to load F12 on an ASUS P5Q 
MB.  The machine was successfully running F11.  I tried to upgrade using 
the network install CD, but I ran into some problem.  I blamed this on 
the fact I was also using the rpm fusion repository, but I didn't really 
look into the cause.  I reloaded F12 from scratch, wiping out the 
original install.  I made it to the reboot prompt, but when I rebooted I 
was left with...

Boot has failed, sleeping forever.

I booted using the rescue CD, mounted the drive, and removed rhgb and 
quite from the grub.conf file.  The result hinted that a raid device 
wasn't detected.  The machine only has on SATA drive and it was never 
setup or used in a raid configuration.  Here's what I see when I try to 
boot the machine...
