Most likely the common denominator is that your particular BIOS misreads 
the isolinux.cfg file, getting garbage; thus it falls back to the 
default configuration (which is equivalent to an isolinux.cfg containing 
the single line "default linux".)

The difference versus the older version of Fedora probably has more to 
do with the new disc having things in slightly different locations on 
the disc versus the older one.

Note that 3.11 is the current version, not 3.10.

The most helpful thing you could do is to find out if you and the other 
users have anything in particular in common (motherboard, BIOS, CD-ROM 
player, SCSI card if applicable, etc.) with your hardware.
