SSD in T520

2011-05-17T16:53:00Z

Juerd:

Broken per May 2011, BIOS version 1.22:
* Corsair Force F115
* Corsair Force F120

The BIOS will, most of the time but not always, fail to recognize the drive on cold boots. The error message is "2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)". When that happens, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot and it will work, but it's very inconvenient.

This problem occurs both in AHCI and in IDE compatibility mode. Disabling quick boot does not solve the problem.

Confirmed working per May 2011, BIOS version 1.22:
* Intel 320 series 120 GB

==== Resources ====
Debian Lenny install: http://comcap.free.fr/x200s.html

Debian Sid install: http://larsgg.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2019B2D8CDA6ED!748.entry

Arch Linux install: http://itgen.blogspot.com/2008/12/installing-arch-linux-on-lenovo.html

CentOS 5 install: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Lenovo/Thinkpad-X200s

The above Debian related links explain the hoop-jumping required (in early 2009) for x200s models that have the 5300 wireless card. However if you have a model containing the 5100 (e.g 7469-5KG) then a standard Debian Lenny install ('HD-media' on USB key+wireless net install) works fine and is straightforward.

Installing Kubuntu 6.10 on a ThinkPad X60s 2

2007-01-13T00:42:59Z

Juerd:

= Installation of Kubuntu 6.10 on a ThinkPad X60s (model 1704-5UG) =

== Functional out of the box ==

With updates to 2007-01-12:

* Sound and mixer
* Graphics adapter and accelerator (Intel GMA 950)
* USB
* Lid switch (LCD off when lid closed)
* Volume control keys, keyboard light
* LCD brightness auto-adjusts depending on AC or battery operation
* Fn buttons generate ACPI events (/var/log/acpid)
* CPU frequency scaling (both cores)
* ACPI battery, thermal 1 and 2, ac
* Suspend to memory (though not with button) and resume
* Suspend to disk, "hibernate" (though not with button) and resume
* SD card station (SDIO not tested)
* Cable ethernet (e1000)
* WiFi (Intel 3945ABG) with WEP (WPA not tested)
* Bluetooth
* Radio enable/disable (Fn+F5) for both WiFi and bluetooth

== Broken/suboptimal out of the box ==

=== Brightness control ===

Blanks X, and stays blank until X is restarted, if you increase brightness with Fn+Home.
Brightness controlled by dialog windows doesn't cause this.

The [http://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00092.html workaround] is to disable video.o

echo blacklist video | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/local

After doing that, there's a 1 second lag between pressing the key, and the actual change in brightness until you reboot.

=== acpi-support ===

in /etc/default/acpi-support
* Enable laptop-mode (/proc/sys/vm/laptop-mode): ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE='''true'''

/etc/init.d/acpi-support restart

=== Fn+F4 and Fn+F12 suspend ===

cd /etc/acpi
sudo mv sleepbtn.sh{,.orig}
sudo mv hibernatebtn.sh{,.orig}
sudo ln -s sleep{,btn}.sh
sudo ln -s hibernate{,btn}.sh

Now the hotkeys work. Yay!

=== Slow boot ===

Ubuntu wants to DHCP on all network interfaces by default, which causes a long delay in booting up. This can be resolved by removing the "auto" lines for all interfaces that you don't use, in /etc/network/interfaces.

By default, Grub on Ubuntu waits 10 seconds before starting Linux. I set it to 1 in /boot/grub/menu.lst

To enable concurrency during boot up, set CONCURRENCY='''shell''' in /etc/init.d/rc ([http://tvease.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tweak_ubuntu_for_speed source]).

== Fingerprint reader ==

Works. See [[How to enable the fingerprint reader]].
