I have just bought an Asus Eee 1101HA and (after compiling a custom kernel with the correct drivers) it is working almost perfectly. Sometimes the whole system just hung and after a keypress the hung had gone and it was OK for a while until the next hang…
This had been happening in console and under [...]
Although the format /dev/[vg_name]/[lv_name] format is easier to read when you got plenty of VGs (compared to /dev/mapper/[vg_name]-[lv_name]), it won’t work at boot.
This is the few lines of default initramfs script which is responsible for the behaviour described above:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top, from line 40:
# Make sure that we have a d-m path
vg=${vg#/dev/mapper/}
if [ "$vg" = "$1" ]; [...]

I assume you have a working Apache 2 installation with PHP4 modules installed, if not run the following and you will have:
sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-mod-php4
Note: you can also have PHP5 installed as module and PHP4 as CGI, everything works the same way with swapping the versions in commands.
First of all you will need the [...]

I have updated the early-ssh to version 0.2. This includes just a few bugfixes and new features, including scp support.
You can download the new version from http://dev.kakaopor.hu/early-ssh/
Early-ssh is a simple initramfs-tools hook script which provides an SSH server at boottime (in the initramfs) before the root filesystem gets mounted, so you will be able to do a numerous things, such as:
unlocking crypto devices – even your root can be an encrypted filesystem
assembling/altering mdadm RAID arrays
checking the root filesystem in read-write mode, [...]
