This may or may not be of any help since your specific issue was not
detailed but I read on the L-M site that Thinkpads "use a non-standard
timing scheme of the psaux port" which was not figured into the new
kernel . It was suggested there that one using a TP who is having
trouble with their mouse operating during the installation (including
freezing the machine), that the boot disk should use the cd-rom (or
appropriate) image found on the installation disk at
images|alternatives and then choosing the appropriate image to make
your boot disk with rawwrite for initiating the installation. For more
information on the subject of this and other installation problems,
look here:

I have an old TP 380ED and had no trouble installing once I made the
right (ie: 2.2.19) boot floppy.
Opinion on the issue of top vs. bottom posting:
If you want someone to read your question or remarks, make what you
have to say clear and put it in context of the existing thread. Edit
the quoted material to it's essential(s). Let's not become too anal
(compulsive) about the subject otherwise. There's room for tops and
bottoms ;) ...it's all a matter of editing which takes only a moment
extra and to do otherwise is common laziness. I simply delete a
message written in html because I can't generally read it anyway; such
is a waste of the time of the sender not to mention being unnecessarily
decadent of other people's HDD space, bandwidth and is just downright
rude. Seeing impaired people, for example, don't need to weed through
all that extra gobbledygook which is gross noise when voice simmulation
equipment is employed. Think. Be considerate. That's not so hard, is
it?
