Turned on the laptop (X60 with Libreboot, Lubuntu in place of Trisql) this morning and it's an unwell laptop. It will go through the usual palaver to load the Ubuntu system after reading the HDD configuration (never been bothered to try to figure out what Trisql does that Lubuntu or most other systems do), and it starts to do the reading of the kernel and or init ramfile from memory ... then blocks. Only remaining signal is the Capslock LED flashing. (1) Libreboot or Lubuntu ... actually, I can address this tomorrow if I can find the dinky HDD with Trisql on it. Tomorrow. (2) My guess is this is indicating a keyboard fault. Removed and replaced keyboard, but no result. Also removed, shuffled and replaced SODIMMs with no success (the X60 doesn't seem to want to boot with a 2GB SODIMM in slot 0, but otherwise the fault persists.
