It is with great pleasure that I’m able to announce Haiku (rev26666) runs on the Asus EEEPC! I own a 701 model, and have sporadically been testing out Haiku revisions on the machine. For months I’ve been unable to boot Haiku, but somewhere along the line, the bug I filed got squashed, and Haiku will boot off the machine’s internal 4gb fixed disk!

I have two partitions on the machine. One bfs partition of 250mb, and the rest a FAT32 that Windows XP occupies. I installed Haiku via a Vmware BeOS virtual machine (running in Windows XP) and access to the bfs physical partition, and then copying the contents of a nightly build over to the partition. Then added the operating system to the NT bootloader using bootpart. There’s no sound, LAN, wireless, APM Driver.

*Update, you can get sound playback by installing OSS for Haiku.

Congratulations team Haiku! And here is the evidence (sorry for the quality):
