Not sure, but try this oft-repeated mantra (yeah, I need to put it
into the FAQ):
Boot to rescue mode with your FC6 Disk 1. (At the boot: prompt,
put "linux rescue".) Let it mount your Linux installation when it
finds it. Then
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/hda # or whatever your boot drive is
exit
exit
Yeah, exit twice - once from the chroot shell and once from rescue.
Pop out the cd and the normal grub stuff should come up when it
reboots.

If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your
neighbor as yourself," you are doing right. James 2:8 (NIV)
