"Press Enter Key"

The R710 we received had 1.1.4 BIOS, and I couldn't install FC11 either. The "Press Enter Key..." line staying put means it never gets to the startup GUI. Updating the BIOS to 1.2.6 fixed this issue for me. I got FC11 installed and working. However, force installing an older FC11 kernel has caused me continuing Grub issues, which I haven't figured out yet.

Ah, upgrading the firmware, what a great idea. Which I knew about that before went through the process of installing FC10 and then upgrading since that took about twice as long.
