== "Unauthorized" MiniPCI network card ==
Although the MiniPCI slot is an industry standard and can accept any MiniPCI adapter, the IBM BIOS is set to only allow you to boot with an 'authorized' adapter installed. Attempts to install an unsupported card will result in the following message:

1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.

This is because the cards ID(s) (what ''lspci'' uses) are checked against a [[Wikipedia:Whitelist|whitelist]] in the BIOS. IBM's reasoning for this is that the combination of MiniPCI card and the integrated antenna in the ThinkPad needs to be certified by the US FCC (Federal Communications Committee).

Additional Information about "Unauthorised" MiniPCI adapters can be found at: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/thinkpad/

Also see [http://www.paul.sladen.org/thinkpad-r31/wifi-card-pci-ids.html Paul Sladens and Matthew Garretts detailed page on IBM BIOS hacking].

= Cardbus adapters =
Cardbus is a 32bits bus that runs at 33MHz, and is in many ways simular to the PCI bus. In fact under Linux Cardbus adapters are handled by the PCI subsystem. 
You can differentiate a PC Card adapter from a Cardbus adapter as the later has a gold coloured grounding strip

Installing Debian 3.1 (Sarge) on a ThinkPad T43

2005-05-09T01:54:52Z

217.231.117.119:

__TOC__

This is how I slapped Debian/Sarge onto my shiny new T43, which seems quite a nice machine all in all. It's a very new type, being based on the Sonoma platform with PCI Express, SATA and other happy things. Does Intel marketing really call Sonoma a "platform"? Oh well.

==Installation==
===Repartitioning/Resizing the Windows Partition===

This is only necessary if you want to keep your Windows installation for dual booting. I kept mine just so I could update the BIOS more easily in case it becomes necessary.

I was able to boot Knoppix 3.7, '''but only with the 2.4 kernel'''. Then resizing the existing 70-odd GB NTFS partition presented no problems at all, but it was rather slow (no DMA mode) due to the ICH6 IDE/SATA controller not being recognized properly. Use ntfsresize, or if you don't trust your knowledge of this rather powerful and potentially confusing tool, try QtParted. Both are available in Knoppix' K menu. Don't be worried if nothing happens while you resize your partition, it took more than an hour on mine.

To repeat myself: You '''cannot''' boot Knoppix (at least up to 3.7) using the 2.6 kernel. Use 2.4.

===The big switcharoo: /dev/hda becomes /dev/sda===

When initially installing Sarge from the rc3 Debian Installer images, the installation disc's 2.4 kernel saw the hard drive as /dev/hda. Since the ICH6 controller doesn't support DMA that way, transfers are extremely slow. Therefore I started by installing a base system with a compiler so I could build my own kernel. After building my kernel with options to support ICH6 (CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y), the drive is seen through libata's SCSI emulation as /sev/sda, though.

To change that, you can boot to 2.4, edit /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst (or your preferred bootloader's configuration file). Replace all occurences of "hda" with "sda" and reboot to your new 2.6 kernel. If things go wrong and your 2.6 doesn't boot properly, use the Debian installer CD as rescue system and change your fstab and bootloader configuration back to hda, then retry with new kernel options. I will post my working .config as soon as I figure out how to upload non-image files here :)

I suppose the Debian installer might at some time switch to a kernel that supports ICH6 natively, removing the need for this procedure.

==Hardware==
===CPU and frequency scaling===
2.6.11.7's CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO (speedstep-centrino.ko) and CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ (acpi-cpufreq.ko) '''both''' seem to work to scale the CPU frequency. Which of the two gets you more battery life and a less noisy CPU fan has yet to be determined. I noticed the CPU fan is rather loud and active a lot. Not something you'd expect for a laptop this expensive. On the other hand, the whole system is pretty brand new and perhaps future kernels will allow for a quieter machine.

===Network===
The network card identifies to lspci as "Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express" and works with the tg3 module, both on kernel 2.4 and 2.6. I didn't find anyhting special here. Haven't tested it on an actual gigabit network, though, so nothing to benchmark with.

===Bluetooth===
Seems to work under 2.6.11.7. Make sure to enable RFCOMM in your kernel, and you will also need support for ibm-acpi. then:

apt-get install bluez-utils
echo "enable" > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
/etc/init.d/bluez-utils start

And you can try using "hcitool scan" to scan for nearby devices. My Sony Ericsson T630 was found immediately and I could back up its contens using MultiSync.

==Buttons==

===Backlight off===
I turned this into something more like a backlight toggle by using this script as /etc/acpid/backlight.sh for acpid:

<pre>
<nowiki>
#!/bin/bash

RADEONTOOL='/usr/local/sbin/radeontool'

status=`$RADEONTOOL light`;

if [[ "$status" = "The radeon backlight looks on" ]] ; then
$RADEONTOOL light off
elif [[ "$status" = "The radeon backlight looks off" ]] ; then
$RADEONTOOL light on
fi
</nowiki>
</pre>

You must first grab radeontool and copy it to /usr/local/sbin for this to work, of course. The script itself was stolen from someone else (whose name I forgot -- sorry!) and modified to work with the current version of radeontool.

My /etc/acpid/events/backlight looks like this:

event=ibm/hotkey.*1003
action=/etc/acpi/backlight.sh

==Various Information==
===lspci Output===

To have all the hardware show up with its proper name, I had to get a new pci.ids file from the [http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ Linux PCI ID Repostiory] and copy it to /usr/share/misc/pci.ids. I believe newer distributions and kernels won't need that file anymore.

Things are up and running, WLAN and all, and I will update this article with the details once I have the time :)

'''... To be continued ...'''

==Complaints==
It appears to me that even when the CPU is clocked down to 800 MHz, the CPU fan is very noisy and blows practically non-stop at the same speed. Does anyone else think this simply shouldn't be the case with a laptop this pricy? I've seen some that cost half as much, have a comparable processor and aren't as noisy. Is this simply a symptom of e.g. the graphics card's frequency scaling not being supported yet? I'd love some discussion about this.

I use a script (started from a an rc.d script as a daemon) to check the temperatures and turn the fan on or off depending on the temperature:

<pre>
<nowiki>

#!/bin/sh

MAXTEMP=55

while [ 1 ];
do
fan=no

for temp in `sed s/temperatures:// < /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal`
do
test $temp -gt $MAXTEMP && fan=yes
done

command='disable'
test "$fan" = "yes" && command='enable'
echo $command > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

sleep 20
done

</nowiki>
</pre>

----

Seems like a solution, thanks :)
''Author of the script''
It's not really a solution, mearely a temporary fix. The ideal solution would be to find out how to control the fan speed. At low speed the fan is not noisy ==> work for ibm_acpi!

I cannot see /proc/acpi/ibm/fan yet, perhaps it's because /etc/init.d/acpid tries to load any and all available acpi modules when the system boots, so a module is already filling places that ibm_acpi wants to take. I'll reconfigure it so it leaves out "fan" and "thermal" and see if ibm_acpi can then grab those two.

It appears that wasn't the problem, but that the ibm-acpi that ships with 2.6.11.7 doesn't have the experimental fan adjustment support. I downloaded the latest available version and will try with that.

It works when using the downloaded ibm-acpi and when that's loaded with the "experimental=1" option.

All of this info is available on a separate page in this wiki, I'll link to it and add some text in the "CPU" section about fan noise.

Installing Gentoo on a ThinkPad G41

2005-05-09T01:52:23Z

217.231.117.119:

What I've done so far:

I initially booted the machine and the installed Access IBM software (I presume) converted the primary FAT32 to NTFS. I downloaded a [http://www.gentoo.org/ Gentoo] LiveCD and a [http://www.sysresccd.org/ System Rescue CD] (known to have ntfsresize).

In my scouting around on the net, I read that the Thinkpads have a have a Rescue and Recovery partition which must be the 4th entry in the partition table. It occupies the final 4Gb of the drive as a primary partition. Using the System Rescue CD, I resized the partition on my 80 Gb drive to 30Gb. The space made available between the end of the resized NTFS partition (/dev/hda1) and the Rescue and Recovery partition (/dev/hda4) was split into a primary partition to act as a boot partition (/dev/hda2), and an extended partition (/dev/hda3). The extended partition was further subdivided into a 2Gb swap partition (/dev/hda5) and all of the remaining space as a root partition for Linux. N.B. If you are using ''fdisk'', rather than the excellent ''QTParted'' (accessed as ''run_qtparted'' from the System Rescue CD), you will have to fix the order of the partition table entries using the
x extra functionality (experts only)
entry on the first fdisk menu, then the
f fix partition order
entry on the expert menu, after you have created the new linux partitions. The end result looks like this:

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10337 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 4058 30678448+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 4059 4072 105840 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 4073 9794 43258320 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda4 9795 10337 4105080 12 Compaq diagnostics
/dev/hda5 4073 4343 2048728+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda6 4344 9794 41209528+ 83 Linux

After the initial Gentoo installation using ''grub'', I was able to boot Gentoo and XP. XP complained on booting, but was able to sort itself out. I think that ''fdisk'' may affect the MBR in a slightly different way from QTParted. When setting up grub, I provided an entry for the R&R partition, like so:
# For booting the IBM Rescue & Recovery partition
title=Access IBM
rootnoverify (hd0,3)
chainloader +1

However, when I try to boot that partition, I am told there is no operating system, so it apparently does not have a bootstrap in the usual place. I have asked IBM about this, but have yet to receive a reply.
