I am also having difficulties with an M10000.

By "upgrade to FC2" do you mean that a fresh install of FC2
won't work?

I was able to install and run FC2 Test 3 without issue.

I am now trying a fresh install of FC2 final and the system
reboots immediately after I hit return from the boot prompt.
  Text mode install does the same thing.

Based on this thread, I have tried "linux vdso=0" at this
prompt with no success.  Is this the correct application of
this parameter?  What does it mean?

Any additional advise is appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron Metzger
