That's happened to me on all four of the machines that I've upgraded to F10 so
far so it seems to be a common issue.
The fix, however, is very simple.
Boot off of the installer disk again, select "rescue" from the menu.
After you get to a prompt type this:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/sda
exit
exit
That will reboot your computer again. Remove your installer disk and
everything will boot up normally.
