No, still choppy. Unless I added it wrong:

default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.19-1.2895.fc6)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet hdc=noprobe
        initrd /initrd-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ro

        initrd /initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img
