Ran the commands above, rebooted, and again during boot the kernel msgs
go by, then I get the below services to start and then goes to a boot
prompt..

[root at scrappy log]# more boot.log 
		Welcome to Fedora

Enabling /etc/fstab swaps:                                 [  OK  ]


from here at the boot prompt, I hit init 5 and then after decently long
pause, it finally takes me to a gdm login screen as it should.
