Maybe you should go and have a look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to see what failed. Perhaps you did not install the kernel headers?
Personally, I had no problem with recompiling the kernel module for the vanilla VirtualBox (not OSE), so I do not think your problem is a kernel issue. Maybe you should start another thread in this forum if my suggestions above do not lead you to a solution...Hi Bezhonneg,
Thanks for trying to help, but I get the same error message regardless of whether I install VB OSE from the repos or the "full" version from the Sun website. You mention it worked ok for you; I am curious, do you still have a generic kernel installed or have you removed them all?
The larger issue as I see it is that Virtualbox worked fine with 2.6.27-7-eeepc-lean, but not with 2.6.27-8-eeepc-lean, or with any of the eeepc (non-lean) kernels. What is different about 2.6.27-7-eeepc-lean that VB works okay, and once we find this variable, can we fix the other versions?
(edit I think the issue is the lack of headers--I would install them if I could, but where do I find eeepc and eeepc-lean virtualbox headers?)
They appear to be available in the array.org repository.
apt-cache search eeepc headers linux-headers-2.6.27-7-eeepc - Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.27 on x86 for the Asus EeePC linux-headers-2.6.27-7-eeepc-lean - Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.27 on x86 for the Asus EeePC linux-headers-2.6.27-8-eeepc - Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.27 on x86 for the Asus EeePC linux-headers-2.6.27-8-eeepc-lean - Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.27 on x86 for the Asus EeePC linux-headers-eeepc - eeepc Linux kernel headers linux-headers-eeepc-lean - eeepc Linux kernel headers

Hi Fewt,
THANK YOU!!!
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-eeepc linux-headers-eeepc-lean
And now VirtualBox is working with the new kernel versions. I guess the reason it only worked with 2.6.27-7 is because that's the version I installed first, so I already had the headers.
I knew it was something simple. 
THANKS!!!
One question, now that I've installed linux-headers, does that mean it will automatically install the new headers each time I install a new eeepc kernel in the future?
Offline
It should be a metapackage that pulls in the kernel version specific packages, but I haven't inspected the package to verify that.
Offline
I've been struggling with this for weeks, and all it took was someone to explain the obvious in a way that I could understand. Linux is like that sometimes!
I love using Virtualbox on my eee because it's cool having a super-mini computer inside of a mini-computer.

Found the issue, (It really helps when you're able to recreate the problem locally:)
The fix for the glx/agp drivers and suspend issues should be downloaded in linux-image-2.6.27-5-eeepc-lean (2.6.27-5.8eeepc3)
(available shortly)
What was the issue? I'm seeing what appears to be the same problem (can't enable hardware GL acceleration) under Gentoo, so any advice on the required kernel options would be appreciated.
Cheers!

Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but is there a specific reason why ipv6 is built into the kernel in the -lean series?
I thought the concept of lean is to remove unneeded modules, so why building something into the kernel that was only available as module before and that will only be used by a very small percentage?

If you are running elmurato's ACPI scripts, make the changes to /etc/acpi/eeepc/eeepc-wifi-control.sh changing 1000HD to your model I posted in the ACPI topic.

I've since tested hibernate and suspend and they work fine with it.Thanks for this idea, it worked. and I am now using the newly gathered accessibility to the net to write this post.
Remarks about the procedure:
1) I had to aptget ndisgtk instead of ndiswrapper because ndiswrapper as a package was unknown, whyever.
2) ndiswrapper didnt want to load automatically after having finished this procedure. I reran the ndiswrapper -m and ndiswrapper -i netXXX.inf but that logically didnt improve things. Only after having run ndiswrapper -am, things continued to work even after a reboot.
Thanks for this howto and the help. Now I can remove the other kernels and clean up a lil.ndiswrapper not being available was my mistake, I gave you a bad package name. I should have said 'apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9'. Sorry about that, I was going from memory and didn't have the Eee handy at the time.
Just another question...
I use Eeebuntu Base 2.0 with the normal Eee Configuration scripts and no extra tweaks (e.g. elmurato's or yours). After changing to ndiswrapper, I have noticed that on Suspension of my system, I cannot get a WiFi connection back after that. It keeps trying, and I can see the AP there, but it just won't connect.
If I give a sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper and right after that, a sudo modprobe -i ndiswrapper I can get my WiFi connection back.
Is there a way to overcome this? Can't figure out which script would b responsible...

Try changing 'MODULES=""' to 'MODULES="ndiswrapper"' in /etc/default/acpi-support. It states that it removes the driver, but incase it doesn't remove that one it may help. Otherwise, I don't know; I don't seem to have any problems re-connecting to the access point after hibernate or suspend.

Yup. Exactly the file I was trying to find. Well, from that point of view, seems to do what using your Ctrl+F2 from your acpi tool would do, which Works. If i use your scripts to disable and enable the wifi again after resuming from suspension, I can get my WiFi back, so I will try changing acpi-support in a while and let u know.
EDIT: Nope... Still have to used Ctrl+F2 twice after resuming... to get WiFi back...

Well, first post. Using Intrepid with acpi-scripts by elmurato and adams kernel on Eee 1000h. Works great so far. Just one problem: I put vga=315 to my grub config and that doesn't work as intended... Grub stops booting and says 31b was not a valid option. Yes, 31b! But in menu.lst there is a vga=315, but when I now press enter and type in "315" as vga code it boots without any problems in a higher resolution. Has anybody an idea, why grub won't boot with vga=315?

Hi, I hope that this is the right forum for a question like this. I have since acouple of weeks a eeepc 701 SDX, 4 G. While I want to use this little pc together with a lot of peripherals connected to the USB ports I want to be be very conservative with the memory resourses. I have dropped Xandros and instead installed debian standard+laptop versions. Together that setup occupies at about 500 MB. Of course I have to do without Ui and work from terminal. That's OK. I have wired and wireless connections with.The only thing I'm missing is touchpad functionality. Because of that I started to install gsynaptics_0.9.7-3asus8. After a while I ran into a dilemma that I don[t know how to solve. After 'wgetting' and installing a lot of necessary packages, I'm stuck with this:
libxext-dev_1.0.1-2_i386.deb (wget yes, but dpkg no due to depending on libxext6 (1:1.0.1-2)
wget -cl0 libxext-dev_1.0.1-2_i386.dev http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701/libxe … 2_i386.deb
Preparing to replace libxext-dev1:1.0.1-2 (using libxext-dev-1.0.1-2_i386.deb)..
Unpacking replacement libxext-dev...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libxext-dev :
libxext-dev depends on libx11-dev; however
Package libx11-dev is not configured yet.

An egg and hen problem perhaps. Can anybody give ahelping hand or is ther a possibility to download a whole gsynatics package with all depending packages included?

You do realise that gsynaptics is a GNOME config tool for the touchpad and is completely useless unless you have a GUI installed, this is probbably why you needed all these extra packages. if you want mouse support in the terminal you need gpm. Are you shure that the version of gsynaptics you are trying to install is actually for debian, many other linux distros use deb packages and they are not, in general compatible.
You will never get a pretty mouse working in the terminal, it was never designed for use with a mouse. gpm does an Ok job but it is nothing special.

After istalling Xubuntu 8.10 to my eeepc 901 the wired network connection is not working. So I cannot install the custom intrepid kernel online.
Could someone give instructions how to do that manually?
Tried to use the instructions for hardy (it had manual installation instructions on array.org) but there seems to be more files for intrepid and I am not sure which ones to use?

I cant download kernel 
It gives me an error
"These packages have unsatisfied dependencies: linux-eeepc: Dependencies: linux-restricted-modules-eeepc (= 2.6.27.8.12eeepc1) but haven't mark for installation
E: Broken packages
How to fix this?

I have the same issue: I am alerted of new updates, but there is some dependency issue.
Looking at linux-restricted-modules-eeepc in synaptic, I can only fnid the 2.6.27.8.12eeepc0 version.

saw this too using synaptic... some say that "something was messed up with the packages," but my conclusion is that the restricted modules eeepc package hasn't been released to the repository yet, and we'll have to wait for that package prior to installing the new kernel.
Either that or modules eeepc1 is hiding somewhere we can't find it...

I am guessing that the messed up theory is the right one, probably in relation to this:

Adamm,
Any chance you add support for the Asus N10 J? It's pretty much an EEE PC (Atom, GMA and Nvidia).

Thank you.

Is there a way to manually download this kernel? I'm trying to get Intrepid to work on my EEE, but I don't have access to a wired network.
Offline
Download this to a usb stick:
http://array.org/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/ … 1_i386.deb
Transfer it to your eee, then double click to install it. Reboot, and hopefully at the grub menu you can select the eeepc kernel.
Hopefully now wireless will work so you can follow the instructions here:

I want to say that I am extremely happy and impressed with eeepc-lean, I did a bunch of optimizations to get my eeebuntu boot time down but couldnt get it below 45, this brought it down to 30:) That is much closer to what I had on my old 701 running xandros, I didnt want to go back to long boot times! Now I have all the goodness of a full os, compiz and a acceptably fast boot for a laptop. ....again, thank you....!
The only thing that seemed to change is I lost the splash screen which used to be eeebuntu standard....I actually disabled usplash a while ago for the 1-2 seconds it shaved off but now I cant get it back, tried uninstalling it and re installing it but no splash, just the text durring boot, any help here?
My second question is about finit or starting services in parallel, Can I use finit with eeepc-lean kernel? I have read alot about changing runlevels and starting services in parralel but cant seem to get a clear answer how to do it safely, or if it would help at all.
It seems that there is more potential that can be tapped for boot time, look at http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=25964, I do want my full ubuntu support, and the audio and video editing software and compiz, ......and a nice fast boot! We can have it all cant we!?
Offline
I suspect the splash isn't turned on in the boot menu. Open up /boot/grub/menu.lst as root (ie gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst) and find a line that starts with defoptions=
Add "splash quiet" to the end of the line if neither are there, then you might have to run "sudo update-grub" and it should then work again.
