Haiku running on Asus EEEPC!
Written by Karl vom Dorff   
Wednesday, 30 July 2008

It is with great pleasure that I'm able to announce Haiku (rev26666) runs on the Asus EEEPC! I own a 701 model, and have sporadically been testing out Haiku revisions on the machine. For months I've been unable to boot Haiku, but somewhere along the line, the bug I filed got squashed, and Haiku will boot off the machine's internal 4gb fixed disk!

I have two partitions on the machine. One bfs partition of 250mb, and the rest a FAT32 that Windows XP occupies. I installed Haiku via a Vmware BeOS virtual machine (running in Windows XP) and access to the bfs physical partition, and then copying the contents of a nightly build over to the partition. Then added the operating system to the NT bootloader using bootpart. There's no sound, LAN, wireless, APM Driver.

*Update, you can get sound playback by installing OSS for Haiku.

Congratulations team Haiku! And here is the evidence (sorry for the quality):

Hmm, I just looked at the bug I filed and it seems 'Powelly' discovered this a while ago. Oh well, I guess I second his finding and just bring the info out for those that don't read Trac everyday smilies/cheesy.gif

Looks like 'colacoder' has ported a networking driver, the Attansic L2 Fast Ethernet driver (used by the Asus EeePC, wired), from FreeBSD to Haiku - although it currently crashes. http://www.SpringDaemons.com/s...85.tar.bz2.

Seems like there is a lot of interest in the Asus eepc Series...

As far as I understood it is a fixed system (built-in)...

So hardware modifications are not possible... so it seems to be a good choice for HAIKU users.
Looks like there will be a big boom again this Christmas for Asus eePCs Series.

Since it is difficult to upgrade... people might be interessted in HAIKU if everything works out of the box...
Would be great to get the webcam as well...
What do you think?

I've read of people getting the normal hard drive models and replacing them with SSD drives. Also, the RAM is upgradeable in some models.
