[SLUG] Fedora 15 no boot

[Andy Copland]

for me I would:

   - BIOS - check your boot order/drive compatibility
   - see if there is a bios update
   - drive formatted with grub/lilo/whatever you are using (do you get any
   boot messages at all?)
   - MBR - check that it is setup correctly (I think gparted can do this for
   you)
