Installing Fedora on USB DiskOnKey and booting from different machine

Hi,
  I installed Fedora 11 on a DiskOnKey. I booted from this DiskONKey
successfully on the machine
on which I made the installation. However, when I tried on two
different machines, it failed, and it reached the
grub command line. On a third machine it reached a line containing the
word GRUB only.
I wonder - is there a way to install Fedora 11 on a DiskOnKey so that
it will boot from any machine (which is capable of booting from USB )?

Note: I had made my trials on motherboards after verifying  that these
motherboards **do** support boot from
USB disk on key.

This is the grub.conf on the USB DiskOnKey:

title Fedora (2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 ro root=UUID=e73e50db-2420
-4792-a347-3e15ed38c5b9 rhgb quiet
	initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64.img


Regards,
Mark
