So I did some more searching and came accross a patch for 2.6.26 that I have modified to work with 2.6.27.
Original: http://people.redhat.com/csnook/atl2/atlx/atl2-2.6.26-4.patch.bz2
Patched: http://github.com/DanBUK/gentoo-eeepc/tree/master/kernel/atl2-2.6.26-4.patch
So I said I would do it and here is is. The current and as I update it kernel configuration for the eee PC 901.
I currently have NOT got the ethernet or bluetooth working, I actually havn’t even started to get the bluetooth working, but ethernet doesn’t seem to want to work. If anyone has any ideas, then hit me up!

So far this setup has been a little tricky. In kernel support for the Wireless device comes with 2.6.27, so I prepared a LiveUSB with the install ISO and some of the bare necessary packages like, gentoo-sources-2.6.27, reiserfsprogs, dhcpcd and grub oh and of course a stage3 and portage snapshot.
Once I had got that all configured up I attempted to use distcc but kept on getting errors. So I did the normal emerge -uD world once booted and with net connectivity and over night I left xorg-x11 compiling. It took:
real 110m59.439s
user 72m10.081s
sys 25m20.474s
Which I don’t think is that bad for a tiny 900Mhz machine 
(If I get time I will post up my kernel configs for others.)
Ok so anyone I have spoken to f2f knows what I mean. I cannot do the same as I used to, the views of my work env. I have to kinda keep limited to a degree. (I wish I could do more; well you know I would!) I am enjoying this environment, but it’s hard work. The structure is not the same; if it exists..
I can see how this will move forward; things will improve on the orga side; things will get better. It just takes some expirance to affect the change. And that is going to be affected by the new team. We are not in the same environment; we have exp. And we are not scared, infact we make others scared. We don’t mean to but we don’t see the logic. We see the disorganisation and we are scared. We want it to be more efficent.
And on life; well life. It’s a game, tomorrow is today and yesterday was today. (Sh1t that kinda makes sense.) Anyway ramble over, time for a roll-up and a bottle of beer.
So I’ve finally go around to tidying up my soup.io page.
