I think rob has an Eee 701 too...

I'm a bit clueless about this issue... the only thing that I can say,
and I can't imagine how that would affect it... would be to try from a
USB key made using make-usb-key.sh ... (you need the syslinux package
from our PPA, the one in Ubuntu is too old). The script is bundled with
Puredyne's ISO in /usr/sbin if I remember correctly, or get it from
the bouilloncube bzr branch.

If there is a problem with packages, maybe you could look at the output
of:

dpkg --get-selections | grep '[[:space:]]install$'| awk '{print $1}' | less

And check if everything look normal?...

Other random thought: you don't have any peristent partition on your Eee
that could confuse everything?...


/me running out of ideas...
