Smooth Core 5 install sails right into stage2Read error

I get the message
"GRUB Loading stage2Read Error"
when trying to boot. This was after
successfully building a Linux-only
system on a new blank hard drive by
installing Fedora Core 5 from my
CD-ROM set using the easiest
possible way -- by taking all the
defaults. Did I miss some fine
print along the way?

I did a Google search of "stage2Read"
and found a long thread in
comp.os.linux.setup from 2005 which,
frankly, made my eyes glaze over...
and it wasn't resolved, anyway.

That usually has something to do with not detecting a motherboard or
add-on RAID. Could you offer a bit more info (MB, HD setup, etc).
