I had the same problem until I found out that only 1 or 2 USB connectors work to boot it. Still don't know why that is, did you try all?

I injected grub into the image and it boots using QEMU. It passes the 'Asus Express Gate - Powered by Splashtop' screen I mention above. I was able to configure it using the wizard. However, I still can't launch any applications. Nothing happens when I click the symbolic links.
What is causing these problems?

Well qemu is too slow for me, therefore I use Vbox. I have made addon sqx files which add network support - they just load extra drivers. Another way to start it on real hardware is to use the exe installer inside Win. As i guess that you already have got Linux on your hd you could simply copy the ce_bz file onto your linux partition and load that as kernel with your current grub. Then you dont need usb boot - one system does not work that way but i can start the kernel from hd + usb stick attached.

Unfortunately, I still can't get it to work on real hardware. I used the .exe to install it in Windows. Then I used grub4dos to boot it(no USB drive attached);
title Splashtop
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/ce_bz
Still I can't get it launch any applications. It sticks at 'Asus Express Gate - Powered by Splashtop'.
Reasons?

Removing apps is not problem as long as you reset the version file:
Code:dd of=$INPUT/version bs=1 seek=32 count=0

I'm trying to get Intel iwlwifi working, since a lot of notebooks have intel wireless, but so far have not been able to. Wireless seems more tricky because older kernels often need to be patched and recompiled for some drivers to work. I might try ipw3945 if iwlwifi doesn't work, but that will support fewer cards.
One option for wireless is to use wired ethernet connected to an external wireless bridge (like the Dlink DWL-G730AP), but that starts to defeat the instant-access characteristic of splashtop.Last edited by drosky; 31 July 2008, 04:59 PM.
