Interesting. I've done a lot of installs on various EEE models without problems. A friend of mine had a 901 and installed openSUSE on it multiple times (he was experimenting a bit before committing his main machine) and he didn't have issues.. *except* the first USB stick he used caused him problems.
Oops - my solution turned out to be embarrassingly simple. Turned out that when I plugged the USB stick into a different usb port, on the other side my eee pc, everything worked as expected. It's a bit strange, because certainly all USB ports on that laptop work fine for reading that same USB stick, but not all of them will boot with it. Don't necessarily understand why, but that's beside the point now: I learned that hardware problems on boot can come in interesting ways ;-) Myrosia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
