Fedora labels the root partition and mounts it by label. Adding or
changing disk controllers can change the location of the drive and
disable booting because the root partition can't be found, but that will
not affect the boot process if mounting by label (for example, a drive
changing from being /dev/hda to /dev/hde). Obviously the scheme also has
disadvantages...

rhgb starts the graphical boot, "quiet" is an option for rhgb. I usually
do without the graphical boot, I like to see all those messages
scrolling by. You should insert kernel options before "rhgb".
