Have you read the release notes for the new release?

Fedora Core 1 now uses a graphical interface while booting. The graphical boot 
screen will appear once the kernel has loaded. Graphical booting is 
controlled by the GRAPHICAL line in the /etc/sysconfig/init file; set it to 
"no" to permanently disable graphical booting. In addition, the parameter 
rhgb must be appended to your bootloader command line.

Systems that have been upgraded to Fedora Core 1 will not be configured to 
include the graphical boot feature. You must install the rhgb package, and 
add the rhgb boot-time parameter to your bootloader configuration.
