Good new everyone. I've just booted MeeGo 1.0 Netbook Chromium image on a USB drive on my Lenovo ThinkPad R500 Notebook (15.4") PC. It works fine! I'm a little excited now, so forgive if I miss something important.

I used the Chromium based image and used dd to create the boot USB. Then I plugged it into my system and just booted. I was greeted with the MeeGo boot menu and in a little while later I was running MeeGo. I had a hunch that this might work because my system seemed to have compatible hardware (Core 2 Duo CPU, Intel graphics, etc.).

Everything worked smoothly including connecting to the wireless network. I tried the main features, applications (including Frozen Bubbles of course) and everything worked fine. So booted my system back to Fedora and rushed here to post the news.

Only problem I had so far was, that I didn't get the shutdown dialog when I pressed the power button. Then again I had the same problem with Moblin and all desktop distros I've tried on that laptop. But everything else worked fine out of the box.

I guess this is good news for people trying to find a way to run MeeGo on decent hardware power today.

The second laptop I tried was a Dell Inspiron 1525 (15.4"). Guess what, it worked too! Well, more or less. Everything else (including the shutdown dialog) worked fine. But as I expected wireless networking was a no go, as it was in other major Linux distros.

So the summary is MeeGo 1.0 Netbook Chromium edition is running fine on the Notebook PCs:

• Lenovo ThinkPad R500
• Dell Inspiron 1525

Next I'll try to check an actual HDD installation. But I don't expect it to be any different. I haven't posted any screenshot online because I didn't see a reason. But if you want to see a proof, let me know. I'd probably do a blog post.

Just to say that I installed MeeGo on a notebook, a HP Compaq nx7300 with the following hardware:
- CPU Intel Celeron M 430 @ 1.73 GHz
- 512 MB ram DDR2 667 MHz
- chipset with integrated VGA 945GM/GMS
- HDaudio N10/ICH7
- WLAN Broadcom BCM4311
- LAN Broadcom BCM4401

Everything seems to work ok, except LAN and WLAN, not recognized at all.
And the DVD-RW device too does not seem to work, but I do not know if it is by design or the DVD-RW is broken.

I just saw couple of more Notebook PC models mentioned here and there.

I suggest we update the Wiki Page: Devices with the relevant details (Eg: which models work/partially work, which hardware components don't work, etc.)

Now writing from my desktop pc running live MeeGo from USB.

Main hardware specs:
- Motherboard Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L (chipset G31/ICH7)
- CPU Intel E5300
- RAM 2x1GB DDR2 667MHz
- integrated VGA Intel GMA 3100
- integrated HDaudio Realtek ALC662
- integrated LAN Realtek RTL8111/8168B
- LCD monitor 1280x1024

Everything is working flawlessly, even a cheap Bluetooth USB key I have (0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, FYI) and the monitor resolution.
Only the SATA DVD-RW unit is not recognized at all. Surely it is because netbooks have no optical units and developers removed support from kernel.
For the rest, even the keyboard extra-button are recognized (Logitech Elite Keyboard).

Very well

My Dell Inspiron 1420 is not working. Everytime when I press Enter at the "Boot MeeGo" menu, the system will reboot
