Re: eeepc 900 4.3-current
today I got my eeepc 900 and was eager to install 4.3-current on it. So I downloaded the latest snapshot of bsd.rd and pxeboot and netbooted the eee. Sadly the kernel boot stops after attaching pciide0 at pci0. I also tried to boot /bsd.rd -d in the hope to get more information about what is going on but with no difference. Anyone here who has made experiences with the 9 model? I'd like to provide the dmesg but I don't have a USB-RS232. That is a known problem, my Eee PC 900 behaves the same. It will, however, boot correctly in about 1 out of 10 boots.

Now my eee runs OpenBSD :) Do you reset the machine or power cycle it? It seems that my eee boots perfectly after resetting it while if I try it with power cycling I do need more attempts to get the machine booting. -- Frank Brodbeck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't have experience with pxe or net booting, but I am booting a snapshot from around 20080617 from an 8GB SD card on an eee 900 with almost no problems. I suppose about 1 in 10 boots it hangs, can't remember where, I will take more notice next time. But the other 9 times out of 10 it boots fine. No wlan obviously but otherwise its great, I have KDE 3.5.9 running and performance is quite good. I take it with me on my bicycle :) Cheers, Craig

Hi misc@, today I got my eeepc 900 and was eager to install 4.3-current on it. So I downloaded the latest snapshot of bsd.rd and pxeboot and netbooted the eee.
