Is running -current out of the question?  If not, grab the latest
snapshot from your nearest mirror and try running that.  You don't
have to build anything from source.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that 4.5 and -current will both have the ale(4)
driver for the onboard Ethernet; 4.4 doesn't have this driver.

Check out Reyk's article on the Eee at Undeadly:

Also, you might want to wait a few days for 4.5's release, or try a
-current snapshot. I'm running -current on a 900A and almost everything
"just works."

4.4 install hangs on eee pc 900

2009-04-26 Thread Mats Blomstrand

Hi
Installing 4.4 on my eeepc 900 result in a system that cant boot ( 
install is working just fine).


The message from kernel was

"...rewiring..."

(sorry, all i can remember now)

Is there anyone that can offer a clue about how to get it to work?

PLEASE, the ubuntu thing I got going now is driving me crazy! :)
