This might require some experimentation, but if you used the Fedora 15
installer, you won't have grub2 installed to the MBR, but grub.  Do you
recall what bootloader options you chose during installation?  Rescue
mode may be needed to access your installed system and further debug the
issue.  The directory /var/log/anaconda/ will have log files of
interest.
