ASUS EEE PC 701 OS INSTALL
You need to install a newer alsa-driver package than the one in CentOS 5.x (1.0.14). see the Eeepc repo to be added during setup section
ASUS EEE PC 701 OS PC
The Eee PC needs a specific (and patched) version of Madwifi to handle the "Atheros Communications Inc. As already explained, the necessary atl2.ko kernel module is not included in the CentOS kernel. The Eee PC has a "Attansic Technology Corp. Modprobe -r snd-hda-intel & echo "snd-hda-intel module removed!" To fix this do the following : add a line in the file /etc/init.d/halt, just before the # Save random seed line : The Asus Eeepc doesn't halt correctly by default. You just need to add the following repo (in the customize section during packages selection) : You'll then have a new package group in the packages selection and select the whole eeepc group Those packages survive a kernel-update (thanks to the weak-updates strategy on el5) I've created a 'temp' repo to hold the atl2 and madwifi kmods rpms during setup so that you'll have wired and wifi networks available after the first reboot. If you want to install through the network, you'll need a modified initrd.img that includes the atl2.ko module : initrd-atl2.imgīasically you just need to prepare the same USB stick as above, except that you overwrite initrd.img with the one from the wiki (and of course you rename initrd-atl2.img to initrd.img) Install from the network (nfs, http, ftp)
ASUS EEE PC 701 OS ISO
Of course you'll have to modify the Bios to boot from your USB stick and attach a USB HDD containing the ISO images All these steps (creating the usb stick and preparing the local usb disk) are already documented in the official doc : You can prepare a USB stick that will be used to boot up the Eee PC and start the CentOS setup. So you can either install from a local usb disk or through the network.
ASUS EEE PC 701 OS NO CD
Webcam : works with the uvcvideo module - see belowĪs you probably know, there is no CD drive on the Eeepc that can be used directly.Video: uses an Intel 915 video card - works OOTB, including compiz/aiglx/desktop-effects.Sound: works but needs a newer alsa-driver package - see below.Wireless: works but needs a patched version of madwifi - see below.LAN: works but needs the atl2.ko kernel module, see note below.AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)Ġ3:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp.

Please note that default CentOS 6.x is working and contains by default all the required changes for wired/wifi connections. Attention : this page is outdated as it covers what was needed to get CentOS 5.x working on the Eeepc.
