I'd be glad to try to edit the floppy images in order to make the Thinkpad model 240 work. I'm quite adamant about it since it's now a matter of two laptops that would like to have Arch on them :). It would be nice, however, having the original config used to make the kernel. Then I could take out a couple of modules and replace them with the two that are needed. Who might have this config?
