Hi Leah Thx for your quick answer. I actually tried libreboot_experimental-84-g2f2e2ee_grub_t400_8mbcd image t400_8mb_usqwerty_txtmode.rom today. I had inserted MAC-Adress with ich9gen and then flashed it directly on the Thinkpad (with flashrom utility from stable release). I used txtmode because I thought that this way I could at least get GRUB. Dont know, what went wrong (maybe I should have flashed it externally again or used ./flash update instead of flashrom?), but after the flash, the computer didn't boot any more. So I flashed the 20150518 image again with Raspberry Pi. If you think that there is a chance that it works with the vesa image (instead of txtmode), I can try that (in the next days or so) Thx a lot for your work: libreboot is genious (I already use it on a Thinkpad x60s and it works great!!) Marcel
