Grub (in the menu) has the following commands:
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_resolve02-lv_root rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en.US.UTF-8 rd_NO_MD crashkernel=128M rd_LVM_LV=vg_resolve02/lv_root SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rd_NO_DM rhgb quiet pcie_aspm=off
When I successfully booted manually, I removed "rhgb quiet" and added "rdshell" to that line.
To the best of my memory, that line is stock, I don't recall ever changing it permanently.
The names of the volume group and logical volume in that line correspond to my actual root device.
