Well, I ABSOLUTELYU agree with Russel. I : also installed linux on IBM ThinkPad 380XD. It's my 6-th Debian installation : around and definitly the most embarrasing one. I DO agree that ThinkPad 380XD : is quite new piece of hardware, and don't want to blame anyone or anything, : but perhaps we may pay closer attention to Laptop instalation problems. : : 1. Official booting disketes - DOES NOT work (tecra also!) : 2. Official kernel 2.0.34 - DOES NOT work (constant reboot)
I've got a 380Z - a zImage kernel worked for me. Of course, there is no official zImage rescue disk :/ -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
