Eeepc and Mandriva 2009: no upgrade but install!

I finally managed to have a stable installation and running! How did I do? Simple, installing everything from scratch. I know that after spending time, desire and patience to set things up, to start from scratch just is not the best, but it is so, otherwise the total system instability.

To install everything, just follow the guide that I made at that time for 2008 , everything remains the same except where it says you put 2009 2009 :) .
There are "only" two failures to settle:
1) The problem shutdown
add "rmmod snd-hda-intel" to / etc / init.d / halt (without the "and the beginning of the file)

2) the problem of fn + F2 once the wifi off, then not start again
copy "options pciehp pciehp_force = 1" in / etc / modprobe.conf (without)

This solution seems to work for many users, but I do not work! It seems that adding the option is not enough and must do more .

For total control of the clock, fan and whatever else you can just install these two packages:
Kernel module
Poweeersave

The first package will enable the kernel module to change parameters.
The second adds a handy program to manipulate these parameters.
Obviously be careful, you could ruin the eeepc!

    I must die that the performances, already 'good with 2008, are also improved!
    Excellent distribution, I hope the bugs settle down quickly!

    And 'the ninth distro that I try on 701. Well, I must say that I was very surprised by the performance you get with mandriva. It seems love at first sight. Detected all hardware. Moreover, the performance is very good and the system is very stable and fast. Boot in 55 seconds (without making any optimizations). So an optimal solution for the 701.

    I keep a Eeepc 701 y tenia problemas conectarme with the Wifi. Parece el controlador funcion, pero no was capaz de hacia conectarme or in Duras Penas. La solución está en usar dhcpd. En la siguiente dirección explican cómo hacerlo:

    Por cierto Fn + F2 me sigue sin funcion.
