It looks like it stopped booting, so either your boot environment got 
damaged or the F14 kernel fails on your machine.  Does the Fedora 14 
Live CD boot successfully for you? Do you have enough space in the /boot 
partition? Can you boot the Live CD, spacebar into the grub menu and try 
booting off the local hard disk?
