You're missing quite a bit between "kernel" and "/initrd..." there.
Those are actually part of two separate lines, which should be something
like:

    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/
    initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img

or

    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/
    initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img

depending whether /boot is on its own partition (1st case) or is
part of the root partition (2nd case).
