Both the ones I've done were A06, using "nbi2".

I kept getting kernel panics trying on a fresh (as of yesterday) A06 model when the installer progress bar reached ~30%.

Downgrading to A04 fixed this problem, even though people claimed success with A06. Weird!

Has anyone else had problems with A06?

Do you know if the trackpad update is built into the final netbookbootmaker?

Trackpad works great with NBM 0.8.3

Thanks. I'm on the Installing screen right now, I'd say about 95% there, I hope this works!!!

I don't think you need to downgrade if you are using the latest NBM or NBI.
