Hi All,
I am facinated by all this efforts to make ANDROID running on an PC. I have a ASUS EP121 Tablet and be quite happy with the new ICS RC2. the only problems are, that I cannot activate BT, it will always automatically switch off and when I want to reboot or shutdown the ANDROID, I push the ON switch long like usual on Android but the Menu for Shutdown/Flight Mode/Reboot/etc will not appear. So I have to hold the On switch very long and then the Tablet just switches off but not properly reboots.
Thanks for your help.

I have a ep121 and was wondering which iso you are using?

I am using normally the Version for ASUS Laptops and Tablets: android-x86-4.0-RC2-asus_laptop.iso
Is the eeepc version better working? I tried it in the 2.x version and had more Problems than with this one.
Since I always used the Laptop/Tablet iso.

I just installed Asus laptop 4.0 rc2 and it is working very well.
I am seeing the same issues with bluetooth and power.
Just for completeness i will post my complete review:
I am dual booting with windows 8.
I installed windows 8 using the entire drive.
After install and updates I resized the portion leaving 10gig free.
I used win32 disk imager to wite the Asus laptop r2 ISO to a USB key.
The volume keys and front button allowed me to start the install.
When I got to partitioning first I choose fat32 but I found that it
uses squashfs and I could not save changes to root.
So next time I formated ext3 and am much happier with full file system
access.
I had to use a USB keyboard to finish setting up android because the
on screen keyboard didn't popup.
I changed the default keyboard back to the android one,
I used titanium backup to uninstall limehd and a few other apps, if
there's a better way to uninstall let me know.
I installed the hackers keyboard and set the setting to always show
the soft keyboard.
I installed a shutdown app.
Issues:
Most live wallpaper is not working, but nexus works good.
Some web issues like Google groups, dolphin web browser works fine.
Tried to find/get working vlc, firefox, xbmc, but ran into problems.
To do:
Try out arm emulation
Overall:
Very happy with the release, its almost as good a my Xoom running 4.1.2
