Okay, I figured out why this wasn't working basicially. For whatever reason my menu.1st file was no longer a symlink to grub.conf. therefore no matter what changes I was making to grub.conf were not being read (duh). It was just coincidence that all my kernels were working since they all pointed to system.map and vmlinuz and other generic ones.
Also, another thing to note in case this helps someone is that I had to remove the tty:12 part from the kernel line otherwise, there was no progress bar on booting (only). It worked fine when shutting down for some strange reason. Oh yeah, one more thing, HOLY SHIT livecd-2006.1 is cool as hell! I freakin' love the little icons and the right side progress bar and all that eye candy!
