I finally got 11.1 happy on my 1000H; built eee-esod (on google code) and after installing MPlayer and MediaWrap, it does everything that Xandros couldn't manage.
If you don't mind changing the bios settings, you can make it natively boot and install grub from the SDHC.
My laptop model compaq c770TU and my SHDC 4gb. When I open quick boot (press F9 after power on), name SDHC card not appear. Does my SD slot is not support to boot? I try test plug Thumbdrive(256MB)and USB External HDD (20GB), both are appeared in quick boot. Is there a solution to make my sdhc to boot?

Yes, but back then I didn't wait it to auto boot to the SDHC and that way I also didn't need a grub menu.

You know what, If you install it on flash memory, before you know it, your SDHC is already burned out, because of the read/write cycles

and now they are even cheaper.
