[svlug] Fedora Core 6 cloned with Ghost can't boot

I have 20 DELL Optiplex 745 desktop computers,with identical hardware, that need dual-boot between Windows XP and Fedora Core 6 installed. I successfully setup a model computer and then use Symantec Ghost to clone the rest of the computers. However, all the cloned computers display the following error message when booting up in Fedora Core 6. Windows XP works fine.

How to resolve this problem? Thank you.
