    My A110 sticks at "Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-E Ethernet controller" and says it hasn't got a bootable device. I have tried the boot order options in the F2 menu and the F12 menu. Any ideas, please?

    Idea #1: Broken hardware (doesn't seem likely, but you never know). Can you boot a live distro off a USB flash drive?
    Idea #2: Corrupted vmlinuz file on your SSD (I don't believe Linpus uses an initial ramdisk). If this is the case, you might get by extracting the vmlinuz file from the recovery image and copying it over the file on your SSD.
