Generally, when you see GRUB > come up during boot, with nothing after that, it means that something has happened to either remove or corrupt your GRUB. Using the installation DVD (or even one from Fedora, if you have one), you can re-install GRUB to a functional state.
Boot up with the disk, go to rescue mode. Depending on your disk layout you'll be able to use something like

# grub-install /dev/hda

Can you boot with any type of LiveCD and post output of

fdisk -l

Small L there, not a 1.
