not an idea really but further experience
Since LiveDvD-10.1 boots, albeit buggily, on the netbook. I tried to
use the kernel config provided with it. I ran make oldconfig then
opened up the menu and whittled away the extraneous modules, built the
new kernel, installed it and rebooted. This time, after a flurry of
red exclamation points, it reached the login and crashed there.
Is it feasible that I should go back in and compile in that kernel log
option, what's it called? Then after it crashes, reboot into the
working kernel, and see if that log has been created? Hey, I guess
that counts as an idea :)
BTW, the major problem with the LiveDvD is the tendency for the
syslog(?) console to bleed into all the other consoles -- messages
just popped onto the screen.
