Hi Aaron
I haven't been able to boot from the Rescue CD without getting an instant reboot and no error messages. I can boot a 2.6 Kernel compiled with the gcc compiler on my own machine with the vdso=0 option.
At present I think this is because the Kernel on the cdroms is compiled with another compiler, I used gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-1).
I'm now running a FC1 with Kernel 2.4 on a 6000 board. This also reboots immediatly when trying to boot from the FC2 Rescue disk.
When you initially run the CD up can you read what is displayed on the console ? I cannot, but hit return presuming to get the default options, following which I get the reboot.
I'm presuming that the kernel/compiler is the issue since the test 2.6 kernel distributed with FC1 caused the same instant reboot, but when recompiled with the same .config was OK.
Regards David

Does booting with vdso=0 help ? What glibc do you have ?
Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------
Yes! Adding vdso=0 allowed 2.6 to boot. I didn't let it run all the way through.
I have glibc-2.3.2-101.4 installed.

David:
I also have a VIA M10000 and am trying to install Fedora Core 2.
I tried to follow your e-mail thread but couldn't determine if you were ultimately successful with an unmodified Fedora Core 2 install disc1 from the public ISO images or if you had to construct a custom install.
At the boot prompt, I tried:
linux vdso=0
with no success.
Is this the correct place to apply this modifier?
Did you have to do anything else to get the install started?
Thanks for any info that you can provide.
BTW: Fedora Core 2 Test 3 installed without a problem on this same box.
