Upgraded to Karmic Beta on the EeePC 901

Yes, today I did the complete upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic Beta and it took just short of five hours.
Because I use a multiboot system, the new menu.lst, which contains two UUIDs in the Karmic stanza, didn't boot and gave a file not found error. So had to change. Here's what it was:

title Ubuntu karmic (development branch), kernel 2.6.31-11-generic
uuid 8bd3097e-b816-4610-be15-daa8b903114d
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-11-generic root=UUID=8bd3097e-b816-4610-be15-daa8b903114d ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-11-generic
quiet

and here's what I changed it to to get it to work:

title Ubuntu karmic (development branch), kernel 2.6.31-11-generic
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-11-generic root=/dev/sdb2 ro quiet splash noatime clocksource=hpet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-11-generic
quiet

Actually, I had been very interested to see if the reports of boot times as low as 5 seconds from SSDs were possible with Karmic. However, on my 16GB SSD, the best boot time I could get was 72 seconds whcih is only marginally faster than I got with Jaunty.
Up to now, I freally haven't seen anything in Karmic that strikes me as amazingly different from Jaunty other than the startup splash. Hmmm...
