Unable to boot my machine

[Richard Crawford]

I ran up2date and installed the newest kernel on my machine, but now I 
am unable to boot my computer at all.  I set the newest kernel as the 
default in the bootloader, and rebooted the machine.  I got the 
following error before it even got to the GRUB screen:

SYSLINUX 2.11 2004-08-16 Boot failed

On the off chance that this might have been a problem with the new 
kernel, I booted the computer from the FC3 rescue disk, and switched the 
default kernel back to the older one, but that of course did not work.

Any thoughts?  This one's got me stumped.
