Hello
I tried to run Ubuntu 10.10 - Netbook and Ubuntu 10.4 live CDs on my ASUS 901.
Both run well.

But neither reboot after clean install.
After the machines BIOS splash screen there is just a blinking cursor at the left top of the screen. No ubuntu/linux/kernel messages whatsoever.

I tried installing both versions on both SSD-s (4GB & 32GB) and ensured the BIOS was correctly set to boot from the correct one.

I searched the net quite a lot but didn't find anything that could relate to an ASUS 901

Any suggestions?

You should probably check out the Doc page on the eeePC's (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC).
You might find yourself in the future having to install one of these (http://www.array.org/ubuntu/) customized ubuntu distros in order to get your notebook working with it.
