GRUB & reboot

My company has a Linux Fedora 6 server.

Two days ago, users could not connect to the internet.

I issued the command "ifconfig", and saw that the IP addresses of
network cards (3) were not shown.

I rebooted the system, hoping that the server will bring up the
network interface again.

After reboot, the server hangs at "GRUB loading stage2...".

As far as I know, no other OS is insatlled on the machine.

I don't have Fedora 6 CD, and is also pretty new with Linux. Any help/
tips are apreciated.

Thanks.

I'm not a great expert, but to me this would suggest a hardware problem.
In any case, that should be the first thing to check.

I would download and burn a Knoppix CD,
and run fsck on the partitions of your computer.
