I got an IdeaPad S12 for Christmas! I'm going to install Ubuntu Karmic on it. This page will record my adventures.
Prior art
- The Ubuntu Wiki claims it "Works very well", but recommends nosplash as a kernel option
- This forum thread claims that dual-boot doesn't work well. I won't be testing this case.
Installer
The IdeaPad S12 has a Nano processor by VIA. It's a 64-bit, x86 compatible processor, so you can either install 32-bit x86 or 64-bit x86. Since 64-bit is still flaky I went for 32-bit.
Problems
Using a USB with Ubuntu Netbook Remix on Karmic, I can get the kernel to boot but graphics fail to load. I haven't figured out why yet.
