It would help if you did the following:
Boot the install DVD into rescue mode.
It will mount your installation as /mnt/sysimage
Let it mount it, because it will ask your permission.
If you have a usb stick, insert it, and mount it, and copy to it
1. /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/device.map
2. /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/grub.conf
3. /mnt/sysimage/var/log/boot.log
4. /mnt/sysimage/var/log/messages

Then using whatever system you used to post your message,
reply and attach those 4 files which you saved on usb stick.
