That suggests to me that it was a bad burn of the CD, perhaps bad media. 
If you have a 1GB or larger USB drive around, you might want to try 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo  (This way you don't 
have to waste another CD trying to reburn it)

I've noticed that if I burn a Fedora (or any other distro) CD at full 
speed, about 25% of the time I end up with a disk that won't boot. 
Dropping the burn speed to half of the maximum usually fixes that.
