custom grub entries

[mightyvoid]

I'm going to try and install fglrx again, however last time it killed my system, giving me a 'display not detected' error on my monitor with no way to reach a non-grapgical tty to edit xorg.conf...

Is it possible to create a custom grub entry that will boot Fedora 15 with the Radeon drivers in case fglrx once again trashes my system?

Sure. You can create as many grub menu entries as you need, with different boot parameters and descriptive titles.

Some months ago someone posted his grub.conf and I noticed it contained a menu entry to "reboot." You could even create a separate .conf file and have a menu entry for it selectable with the configfile menu command.

I don't know about Radeon drivers, but if your kernel doesn't boot with different options you might have to adjust the initramfs, for example as in Leigh's nvidia driver instructions:

su -
sed -i '/root=/s|$| rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0|' /boot/grub/grub.conf
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname   -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Cheers, I'll definitely look into this, sounds extremely useful - for now i'm going to wait, upon further reading it appears that, being a gnome shell user, fglrx isn't usable, luckily the Radeon drivers are impressive enough to handle everything I need to do.
