@Dominik: If you have a recommended distro that is known to work well on an ASUS netbook, I can certainly try it. All the ones I have tried on it so far (other than its stock Xandros) have been Ubuntu-based. (I started with the one now called Easy-Peasy, and also Eeebuntu, and maybe one other I'm not remembering.) It has been a long time since I've installed stock Debian but it doesn't scare me to try it, for example.
I'm also reminded that the filesystem corruption seems to be worst when I accept the Ubuntu partitioner defaults (fill my 32gig drive with root and swap). I don't know how/why that matters but in this case I suspect that if I again decrease the size of the root partition a bit, I would be able to get the installation to complete with ext3. I don't know if it's worth trying ext2 or Reiser. I suppose I could also remove the upgraded drive and reinstall the original stock ASUS 4gig flash SSD drive and test it. I wouldn't mind so much if I destroy IT in the name of science. ;-) -- beta installer left ASUS EeePC 900 unbootable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430333 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
