Asus eee PC901

[Robert M. Albrecht]

Hi,

has anyone succesfully installed F10Alpha on a PC901 ?

I got a whole bunch of problems:

F10Alpha crashes while formatting the disks.

Installing F9 works, though lan and wlan are missing. Upgrading via CDROM 
to F10 Alpha works, but takes several hours.

Kernel 2.6.27.0.244 does produces several crashes while booting: 
inconsistent lock state, but continues to boot.

Textmode is working, xorg does complain:
module does not have a intelModuleData data object

I've got F10 alpha on my Acer Aspire One (120GB HDD version) updated to today's Rawhide (except for kernel - using 2.6.27-0.275.etc... X works, wireless works, USB flash drives work, SD cards don't work.

As it happens I've ordered an Acer Aspire One today. Looking forward to
testing F10a on the little thing, especially now that wireless is (mostly)
supported by the kernel. Many clues to be found by looking at the ootb
Fedora8-based Linpus distro's patches to get the remaining functions working
in fedora proper, such as the wireless switch:

Hope to see the wiki info grow --
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Acer_Aspire_One -- as the remaining problems
are ironed out

There's a thread about that one on Fedora forums.  It uses the 5007EG
Wireless, which is supported by ath5k in the 2.6.27 kernel.
