The F13 kernel doesn't boot - gets the error (this is the exact message)
Kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
and /dev/sda1 (hd 0,0) is /boot and it is ext3 - nothing special and of
course it boots from the F12 kernel
The F12 kernel boots - that is the only one I can use

A shot in the dark :-)
Well that looks nearly sane from here, but I would move the initrd
line in the F13 section to match how it is with F12 i.e before the
boot and savedefault lines. If still no joy I would try re-generating
initrd with dracut in /root and compare the two with lsinitrd..
