Just remember that google is your friend.
It looks like there is a problem with your bios and fedora. By doing a search of google with the error message that you posted I found this
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedor.../msg03948.html
Check the follow up on the bottom.
It's not very explanatory, but maybe some more searches will turn up something.
