Hey,I have a problem reverting back to stock linux after having 3.2
Honeycomb on my netbook.
While i have flashed the bootable USB via EEE PC recovery tool,the problem
occurs while the system boots.
It has to do something with partitions AFAIK.
The screenchot is attached where you can see the whole message.

Looks like the install of android changed your partition table from
what the stock linux wanted. To be fair, the stock linux is so dated I
wouldn't bother, but would install the latest Ubuntu. You have to trick
the installer to install with an HD of 4gb, but it runs well.

Follow this:

Otherwise you'll need to recreate a partition table the recovery tool
expects to see.

I am running 4.0.4 rc2, the Eeepc version. It seems to run well. I
also have Ubuntu installed on an 8GB SD card and dual boot.
