I've just tried booting Plan 9 on a borrowed SL510 (very low-end and low-cost but still thinkpad-branded Lenovo). Seems to run OK; ethernet works; disk works if bios ahci config is set to compatible. Vesa vga didn't seem to offer anything better than 1024x768.

I completed the installation. When I rebooted I got the same error with the graphic card as I got in the live mode. I think editing the 9fat.ini should resolve the problem, but I have to learn how to edit files in Plan9 without rio. The graphic card is not supported (I think so:

The T410 mostly works: ethernet, (vesa) video, lower-speed usb. It has two EHCI controllers and that seems to interfere with high-speed usb so far. Haven't tried wifi but I wouldn't expect it to work.
