How to install customized kernel on Asus EEE Pc

I've been following the this guide at

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_Arch_Linux_on_the_Asus_EEE_PC

everything went well but on the kernel part I had some troubles. 

# (2) Arch Linux
title  Arch Linux EEE kernel
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuzeee root=/dev/sda1 ro

I've added this lines on my grub menu.lst but the problem is I cannot boot to it.  I've already installed the kernel-eee

Any suggestions? This is my first attempt on installing Arch on the Asus EEE Pc.  Thank you smile

Re: How to install customized kernel on Asus EEE Pc

Which model of EeePC are you using? Not all require the same kernel, I believe the one there works on the 70x series models.

I believe he was asking which model as in 900, 901, 1000, etc. If I remember correctly there are a few different models of the EeePC that have a 4GB SSD.

Double check that the filename of the kernel (and initrd if you use one) in grub/menu.lst are correct and point to your new kernel.

Re: How to install customized kernel on Asus EEE Pc

Post your /boot/grub/menu.lst and the output of

# ls -l /boot

edit: The contents of /etc/fstab may help too

Re: How to install customized kernel on Asus EEE Pc

Don't know if that can help, but my fstab looks like yours, except I don't have an entry for /boot.

Re: How to install customized kernel on Asus EEE Pc

Replace root=/dev/sda1 with /dev/disk/by-uuid/UUID
You can get UUID with blkid.

Re: How to install customized kernel on Asus EEE Pc

This was already resolved over in this thread, so maybe he forgot to mark this one as solved.
