Stuck installing FC2 on a VIA Epia 800

[Jurgen Kramer]

I've been trying to install FC2 on my old VIA Epia 800 mini-itx
board to save it from the scrapper. So far no luck, booting from
CD doesn't work, syslinux complains about a severely broken BIOS (I am
running the latest version). I've managed to setup a more-or-less
working PXE server. The epia is actually booting from it but after
loading vmlinuz it hangs. This is probably the infamous FC2 VIA C3 bug
haunting me.

Are there any other options to get FC2 running on my ancient Epia 800?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
