You need to rebuild you initrd image.. See the mkinitrd man page..

I kind of thought it would be something like that, but given that I could not boot up, I was not sure what to do.

Last night I punted and did a clean, full, install on the new drive. Did the yum update, copied my data directory and I a now up with basic functions.

I have also documented some of my starting setups, and am now ready to reboot and see if I got everything in for madwifi and sun's java jdk....

Lessons learned and all that stuff. One major thing is that an OS migration is NOT so cut and dry...
