Boot Issues with FC2

The motherboard is  An Asus P4S333 - had exactly the same problem on an ASUS 
CUSL2-C. I've played with both "Pug & Play OS: Yes" and "no" - just out of 
desparation.

What totally bewilders me is these are two different ISO images from two 
different mirrors - two different machines. All with the same exact problem 
after an absolute minimum install - using the auto-partition built-in to 
Fedora. That being the case, this should be a much more common problem - but 
my searches seem to indicate that it's very uncommon. Not a single tip so 
far in the right direction. Totally amazing.
