  That is good, it means GRUB found your filesystem.

  You've got a typo in the above.  "1.6.20" should be "2.6.20".  If
that's your actual kernel command (and not merely a transcription
error), that's your problem.

  That means that GRUB found the filesystem, but didn't find one of
the files you specified in the filesystem.

  You might need to tell smartctl the device is an ATA type:

smartctl --device=ata --all /dev/sda

  The other thing you can do is get to the GRUB command prompt and use
the GRUB "find" command to see if GRUB can find the files you're
asking for.  Like so:

grub> find /vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6
grub> find /initrd-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6.img
