[Fedora-livecd-list] Grub no worky

I installed to my HD, using Fedora 7 LiveCD.  Upon system startup, the 
Grub, OS selection screen appears.  But requires that I hit Enter to 
boot.  It should timeout after 5 seconds and automatically boot.  There 
is no other OS loaded on this HD.  I tried reloading completely, and 
selected the option, not to use a bootloader.  But when I tried to boot, 
I was greeted with a blinking Grub prompt, which simply hung.  So I 
installed again, selecting Grub, and must still use manual intervention 
to boot to the OS.

I never had this problem with lilo.  And have read the Grub docs, but 
really think, I'm not doing anything wrong.

Any ideas, appreciated.
