Enabled ramdisk, enabled initrd. Built initrd file with mkinitrd as 
suggested and
changed grub.conf

The kernel could not remount root filesystem in read-write mode: 
partition not found.

I believe the entry for / in fstab is
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1


It can't mount /boot after the / remounting in rw mode fails.
