ok. my error.
"rhgb" and "quiet" if in 'kernel' line, should removed. it they are in
'main', then remove or use "# ".
i did not recall all of what i have, so here is 'main' and 1st 'title';

changing "vga=" will cause a change in font size. to make further
changes in font size, as Vladimir stated, font and size is set by
"/etc/sysconfig/i18n" and "SYSFONT=".
as for scroll speed, it is fast in first part and then slows because
what is loaded at start are fast loads. if you want to get a slower
scroll, you could insert "sleep 10" in startup scripts. but, that is
too many dimes for the little bit of sugar.
the only reason i have my grub.config as i do, is so i can watch for
any failures. if i see a failure, i press "Scroll Lock" key to hold
screen for reading, then press again to continue.
as Kevin replied, if you want to see what happened, read your logs.
if your system is crashing during boot, logs may not / will not show
when/where it happened.

The installation instructions stated to install Windows 2000 or better.
