I had a similar problem with this and FC6. I had a USB thumbdrive pluggin in at boot. Grub got awfully confused with the key plugged in.
Jay, I leave a couple of USB drives plugged in, but I had no problem booting FC6. For the time being, I've switch them off. What's baffling me is that when I boot from the F7 DVD, it gives me drives different dev names than when booting from disk. Normally, my boot drive is /dev/sdd, but when booting from the CD fdisk lists it as /dev/sdc. I've tried various settings on the #boot line in menu.lst to no avail; it keeps dropping me back in the grub prompt. At this point, I have absolutely no idea what I am doing; Any suggestions would be most welcome. Also, where did I go wrong? Was it a mistake to let the installer configure (ie, update) Grub? -- Colin Brace Amsterdam
