I didn't test installing grub2 because in addition to the boot problem
there was also a kernel problem with the F16 install.
I got my XPS17 running Linux by doing an install from the F15-KDE-64-Live iso.

The laptop has the 3D screen and does NOT have the optimus card.

What video card does your M4600 have and which spin (x86, x86_64, KDE,
