We are having the same issue with the IBM T60
series and some of the T43’s. We switched to the DOS boot CD for
the T43’s but the T60 will not load the NIC on the DOS cd so it won’t
work either way. Tried updating the DOS nic but no success there either. One work around I have found is this:
After the initial copy where the system just sits there make a ghost back up of
the system and then restore the backup. Some “magic” in ghost
causes this to kick start the process and it continues to build the laptop as
normal. I have posted several comments on the t43
issues I had but I never got it resolved. Hopefully we can work on this
issue and find a final resolution once and for all for the new IBM laptops
Lenovo is rolling out. -steve From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Liles I just got a new IBM Thinkpad X60 and I
can’t get it to work L I can get as far as getting dosemu to run
and do the initial copy of the setup files, but after reboot it just sits
there. I have checked the MBR with
“ms-sys” and I get back x86 boot loader, unknown type. I have tried rewriting a win2k/xp
bootloader to the MBR and tried chainloading from my grub boot cd, no dice. If I install from a windows cd it goes
just fine… When using a cd to install windows I can
check the MBR and I get back Microsoft 2000/XP/2000 boot loader… Anyone have a X60 working with unattended
or know what is going on? I have tried putting the sata controller
in compatibility mode, disabling the “pre-desktop” environment
(restore partition) and disabling the security chip. -- System Analyst Air2Web,
