This can be caused by GRUB not being able to find the
grub/grub.conf file.

Hmm. What was the disc setup when you installed GRUB? Has it
changed? What does your grub.conf file look like? Have you
tried to boot by hand? (I mean, have you entered the
commands to try to load Linux by hand at the GRUB> prompt?)

GRUB has a "find" command which may help you figure out
what has gone wrong.

FC4 didn't have this issue.  thinking about trying the text based install and seeing what happens...but i'd rather not go that way. I'll wait for responses first before i make a decision.
