I had a same problem on the same environment. It seems something wrong
in the FC5 installer. I guess manual grub boot loader setup must be
required as follows.
1. boot 'linux rescue' with FC5 install CD/DVD
2. file system will be mounted in /mnt/sysimage
3. 'chroot /mnt/sysimage'
4. 'cd /boot' and make sure all files are correct(i.e. grub.conf)
5. launch grub command, and write grub boot loader in MBR manually
# grub
> root(hd1,0) <-- specify /boot partition ?
> setup(hd0) <-- write boot loader record in hd0 MBR
I'm linux novice. So please take care above parameters.
good luck
