I had similar problem after FC4 instalation. I had FC3 on other
partition too and grub was formerly from FC3. After instalation if was
OK, but when I had tried extend configuration of grub (grub.conf) from
FC3 it had crashed on next boot.

This wasn't succesful
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit

At last I have tried upgrade (new) FC4 instalation with FC4 and after 5 minut 
of upgrade (yes it was really quick) grub is working.
