Just a small kernel patched specifically with all the hardware support 
for eees.  Stock Fedora kernel works (with wireless driver from 
rpmfusion), but suspend/resume only worked about 80% of the time, and I 
would periodically get kernel errors.  So I really wanted to use the 
kernel from array.org, or something similar, but have full disk 
encryption and not have to set up a build environment on my eee to get 
it all working.
