,have you tryed verbose mode it might give you some more info on the problem. other than that all i can think of is to update youre bios or try a newer distro.

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

Check the follow up on the bottom.

It's not very explanatory, but maybe some more searches will turn up something.
