Cannot find root file system booting Meego in Eee PC 900

First off, Meego 1.0 does not support Eee PC 900 as the processor does not support SSSE3. This is documented in the website. But that should not stop you from running it using LiveUSB.

And so that's what I did. Downloaded the IMG file and copied it over into the USB using Univeral-USB-Installer. With all high hopes of being able to play around Meego, I was greeted with this message instead:
-------------------------------------- WARNING: Cannot find root file system! -------------------------------------- Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue the boot sequence bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device bash: no job control in this shell bash-4.0#:
Of course, I am not RTFM :(...

This link shows the instructions on how to use .IMG file and write it to a USB. And it got more useful information as well.

Is there any solution for that problem yet? (Got the same problem with my Thinkpad)
Which one are you referring to? The warning or the fact that it does not support processors without SSSE3 capability?

The following add-ins could not be started MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform

Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy. When running it for the first time though I got the message: The following add-ins could not be started: The root of the trace shows MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,2.8 A quick search shows that MonoDevelop depends on libgnomeui . This should have been part of dependencies when installing the application but well.... Below is the screen shot of the error message.

Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file install VirtualBox 4.1.8 on Ubuntu 11.10

Tried to update my Ubuntu host today and it did pickup that new version of VirtualBox is available (4.1.8). All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. File: does not exist. [ OK ] * Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] Though it looks like installation was fine but I am concerned about its effects to VirtualBox functionality. To fix this, do: $: cd /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost $: sudo rm -r 4.1.4 $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Of course you have to re
