This appears to be a bios issue of some kind. I switched my IDE-Config in the
bios to "legacy" from "enhanced" (which was the default) and set it to "SATA
P0/P2,P1/P3" and my computer now boots normally without that error message.
However, on what seems to be a related note, I have discovered that my CD burner
is missing. It doesn't show up anywhere with any IDE-Config setting, either
legacy or enhanced.
(Other settings under "legacy" are "P1/P3,PATA" and "P0/P2, PATA" but none of
them make the CD drive appear.)
FC6 worked fine with the bios set to "enhanced".
