=== Linux Installation ===

As of 2010-03-01 the following problems exist with the W510 under Linux:

* Audio on some W510's has been "destroyed" after running for a while. It has been confirmed that speakers have melted in t400s and t410s as well, this is unrelated to Linux.
* nVidia FX 880M requires driver >= 195.36.15. Earlier versions have stability or graphics corruption problems.
* To enable brightness control in X, append 'Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"' to the Device-Section of xorg.conf, orginal source: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2204839#post2204839. This may result in a high-pitched whine after lowering the brightness within X. Brightness may not be lowered and raised in the same increments on Archlinux.
* Suspend not implemented yet in USB 3.0 (xhci) driver - system cannot suspend unless driver is unloaded first - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/522998
** xhci driver was renamed to xhci_hcd in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). Also, iwlagn may need to be unloaded as well - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/664398
** xhci suspend has finally been included in kernel 2.6.37. You don't need module unloading tricks anymore.
* System can only resume from suspend once - acpi related kernel crash occurs on resume (but system continues to operate), next resume shows BIOS screen and hangs - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15407
** Lenovo has issued a www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-74858.html BIOS update that fixes the 2nd suspend problem (c.f. bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532374 Ubuntu bug tracker)
** TEMPORARY WORKAROUND for suspend issues: Use kernel > 2.6.33 mainline and add "acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable" to kernel arguments. This allows the system to suspend and resume multiple times without issue, however it doesn't fix it the "right" way. Lenovo BIOS update mentioned above will eliminate the need for this step.
* If running an Ubuntu PAE kernel, you can only resume from suspend once if you actually have > 4 GB of RAM. While this has the same symptoms as above, none of the workarounds work for this - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/786010
* Wired networking stuck at 10Mbit without manual change using ethtool. For Ubuntu Karmic this can easily be fixed by manually downloading and installing the [http://bit.ly/bTvbWx e1000e driver from Intel]. After installing this driver however, the wireless stopped working me.
(<b>NOT</b> true for me on kernel 2.6.33 ethtool says " Speed: 1000Mb/s " -[[User_talk:mstragowski|mstragowski]])

* Archlinux before version 2010.5 cannot easily be configured, as the wireless and ethernet cards both require drivers that are not present in the 2009.08 release. This may be a problem for other distros, as well. With Archlinux 2010.5, ethernet works out of the box and wireless works after kernel update.'''
* While Turbo Boost IS working properly with recent distros, built in Linux utilities do not currently show Turbo Boost activity. Intel Powertop or i7z will show actual CPU state properly, including Turbo Boost and advanced C-states. Can be verified running Ubuntu Lucid and compiling a kernel or other tasks, WHILE ON AC POWER.
* 2-finger scroll on touchpad not working even wtih gpointing-device-settings

Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "4"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "off"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "off"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"

in the synaptics section in xorg.conf solved that one for me
(EmulateTwoFingerMinZ is the relevant part here I think.)

* The fingerprint reader (USB ID 147e:2016) is recognized by fprint and should be supported. However, attempting to enroll a print results in an error "-22". Using proprietary driver found at http://www.upek.com/solutions/pc_and_networking/sdks/linux/ allows using this new chip. Using fingerprint from software http://www.pdfserver.net/fingerprint helps working with this reader.

* If you find the flashing wireless LED annoying, you can change its behavior so it will be on steady whenever the radio is powered on, and off when the radio is off. Add "options iwlcore led_mode=1" to /etc/modprobe.d/iwlcore.conf to set the LED on steady, or you can set led_mode=0 to have it flash whenever there is wireless activity (default)

* XEN and W510 - After trying numerous combinations of Linux distributions & XEN to get the W510 running a dom0 the problem was well-integrated XEN environments with no support for the W510 or new distributions (like Ubuntu) fixing driver problems but no XEN support whatsoever. I eventually found OpenSuse 11.3 milestone 7 worked pretty well with full resolution graphic support using Nouveau (2.6.34-8) in a dom0. Note: you have to enable VT-d support in BIOS if you want HVM support. Networking however was a complete headache and worked so long as no network changes were made. --[[User:Diti2202|Diti2202]] 21:25, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

* KVM and W510 - Using Ubuntu 10.04 KVM tools this works very well and is very stable with less disk-thrashing than seen with the OpenSuse11.3 and XEN. Performance seems to be en-par with that of XEN when running the same guest (desktop) VMs. Ubuntu 10.04 (latest updates) seems to support W510 hardware quite well with nouveau graphics driver. Full-screen Guest VM consoles mess up focus between host & guest environment (likely a KVM issue, not W510). --[[User:Diti2202|Diti2202]]

* Memory - Only since Bios version 1.24 you may use more than 3GB under amd64 Linux --[[User:carpf|carpf]])

Workarounds:'''

* On Ubuntu Karmic, Wireless can be enabled by installing linux-backport-modules-karmic. This adds missing firmware for 6000-series cards. This does not seem to work with the 2.6.31-20 kernel but I have no problems in the 2.6.31-19.
* All Versions: System cannot suspend unless <nowiki>SUSPEND_MODULES="xhci"</nowiki> (on ArchLinux with 2.6.35 the Module is called "xhci_hcd") is added to /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules (may need to create this file) Note that this does not resolve the "crash on second resume" problem.
* On archlinux, ethernet will work after one manually installs the newest kernel26 package, while wifi requires the appropriate microcode package, iwlwifi-6000-ucode.
* The Nouveau open source nVidia driver [http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2194707&postcount=20] works at full resolution without freezing (but without 3D acceleration). This driver is included in Ubuntu Lucid. Note that you may experience elevated (but safe) system temperatures when running Nouveau.
* Full touchpoint support can be activated by installing <nowiki>gpointing-device-settings</nowiki> - this allows middle click scroll, etc.
* To control brightness without the (admittedly minor) nvidia driver issues, do not add the EnableBrightnessControl option, but instead switch to a virtual console to change the brightness--this change will remain when you switch back to X.
* The CD tray's eject button being on an edge of the machine is very easy to catch by accident. The button can be disabled in Linux by issuing this command at boot:
/usr/bin/eject -i on /dev/sr0
There are multiple ways of issuing a command at boot depending on your distro. All other methods of ejecting media are unchanged.

=== Hardware notes ===
* The W510 ships with a large (nearly doubled size of the 90W version) 135W power supply. However, it is possible to plug 90W power supplies, but they get rather warm. Upon boot there's a notification message, that a power supply with reduced performance is connected. '''Note''': In order to avoid overloading the weaker power supply, the CPU is throttled drastically and usually does not go above 400 Mhz.
* If the binary nVidia drivers are not installed the system runs about 10 degrees warmer and uses a few watts more power. It seems the open source 'nouveau' driver does not have power saving functionality with the nVidia chipset. The program "nvclock" might be able to alleviate this, but I haven't tried.
* A high pitched noise can sometimes be heard when the computer is running. I was informed that this is the CPU's power management unit. If it annoys you it can be disabled in the BIOS.
* The computer does not boot at all when some USB keyboards are plugged in at power on. This is a problem with the BIOS and not with Linux or Windows. The only solution is to unplug the keyboard and plug it in again once the laptop is past the BIOS screen and booting as normal.
* After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 the system hangs very often. Nothing unusual in dmesg or system logs. Seems to happen more often when using wireless. (see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576352)
** this is mostly alleviated by updating to Nvidia driver version 256 (now higher) from the SWAT reposistory for Ubuntu. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates. Also throttle the clock speed of the GPU to the minimum (reducing heat) following guidelines from here: http://linux.aldeby.org/nvidia-powermizer-powersaving.html to pretty much end the hangs. Issue has been seen to exist on Windows and Ubuntu. Current Nvidia drivers (v.256+) appear to reduce (but not solve) the problem on both platforms.

Sdague: updates for rendering, and bios install order

BIOS Upgrade

2006-08-18T21:12:18Z

Sdague:

__TOC__

This page is meant to describe ways to update the BIOS on a ThinkPad that only runs Linux for users that don't have ready access to Windows. If you have Windows on your ThinkPad you can just boot into it and follow instructions on the IBM website.

{{NOTE| In one case ([[APM setup on a type 2379 ThinkPad T40]]) it was not possible to upgrade the BIOS from Windows XP; a downgrade to Windows 98 was required to successfully run the BIOS upgrade app. The symptoms in this case were that, once the files had been extracted to the hard disk, and the machine was to reboot into the upgrade app, it would beep and hang just before reboot, requiring a power cycle. Once the power was cycled, it would simply reboot back into XP without performing any BIOS upgrade actions. So even if you have Windows, you may still need to use the info on this page.}}

----
==Before You Begin==
Updating the BIOS in Linux (with few exceptions) '''is not officially supported''' by IBM. However there are work arounds.

{{WARN|By following any of the instructions here you are accepting the '''very real risk''' of turning your thinkpad into a big expensive paper weight, as a firmware update gone wrong can create unfixable problems.

'''Proceed at your own risk!'''

It is also '''important''' to understand that all newer thinkpads have 2 seperate firmwares, the BIOS and the Control Program. A specific version of the Control Program will only work with specific versions of the BIOS. The IBM documentation is sometimes confusing about the order of update. Updating the Control Program first, then the BIOS seems to be the correct order. Make sure to do the updates immediately following each other, otherwise you
risk turning your thinkpad into a very nice paper weight.}}

==BIOS Upgrade Paths==

For every firmware (either BIOS or Control Program) update on the IBM site there are two different firmware update programs provided.

===The Diskette Updater===

This installer appears to be a 16bit dos program which asks you to accept a license agreement. It will run in Windows, DOS, OS/2, or [http://dosemu.sf.net Dosemu] perfectly, but requires a real floppy disk attached via a real floppy control. The USB Floppy Drive to the new Thinkpads doesn't count.

===The Non Diskette Updater===
{{WARN|Though this process was successfully tested on one version of .exe files found on IBMs website this doesn't mean it will work for all of them. Use at your own risk.}}

This installer appears to be a 32bit windows exe which is designed for updating the BIOS directly from a running Windows OS. It turns out that the .exe is really a wrapper license program arround windows .cab files (this information is in [[How_to_change_the_BIOS_bootsplash_screen|BIOS-Bootsplash]]). If you install the Linux program [http://freshmeat.net/projects/cabextract/ '''cabextract'''] you can expand these files directly. Run the following:

:{{cmduser|cabextract FILENAME.exe}}

You will get 8 files in the current directory. One of them will be FILENAME.img. You can test that this is really a floppy image by running:

:{{cmdroot|mkdir mntfloppy}}
:{{cmdroot|mount -o loop FILENAME.img mntfloppy}}
:{{cmdroot|ls -la mntfloppy}}

If the results of {{cmdroot|ls -la mntfloppy}} look like a dos floppy, and no read errors were displayed, you have a pretty good chance that the floppy image is usable.

==Downloads==

{{NOTE|Firefox or Konqueror users should disable the '''Use IBM Download Director''' option when downloading files.}}

If you were able to create the boot floppy per the Diskette update method, and you have a Floppy with your Thinkpad, the update should be simple.

==Updating an X60==
If there is no floppy, and no windows, but an external USB CD, then there is hope.

===Build a bootable CD with USB support===
Get the ISO Image style BIOS upgrade, and the freedos floppy (http://www.ankreuzen.de/freedos/files/fd9sr1/fdos1440.zip)

:{{cmdroot|su # get root}}
:{{cmdroot|mkdir /tmp/iso}}
:{{cmdroot|mkdir /tmp/cdimage}}
:{{cmdroot|mount -o loop <iso-bios-file> /tmp/iso}}
:{{cmdroot|cp /tmp/iso/* /tmp/cdimage}}
:{{cmdroot|cp <freedos-disk-image> /tmp/cdimage/floppy.img}}
:{{cmdroot|mkisofs -b floppy.img -o bootcd.iso /tmp/cdimage}}

finished.. now boot from cd and flash.

==Updating via CD/DVD Drive==

The whole thing gets more complicated if you neither have Windows nor a floppy drive installed. This is what this page is intended to describe.

Another possibility which works even without a CD-drive or network is to boot the disk image via the grub initrd mechanism.

Be aware that IBM officially does '''not''' support this! The official statement to my support request was:

<blockquote style="background: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 1em;">
<pre><nowiki>
I'm afraid we only support the options listed on our web page and no you
can't burn a CD/DVD, however you can try to use an external USB FDD
(floppy) drive. The experts recommend a IBM USB FDD, however they have also
tested it with a Sony USB FDD drive.

In order to make sure the drive is recognised you can boot up the FDD with
a bootable dos diskette for w98
</nowiki></pre>
</blockquote>

But it seems to be possible as Mathias Dalheimer describes this [http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/pipermail/linux-thinkpad/1998-January/009743.html here].

Another indication that it should work is that IBM uses PHLASH16.EXE (at least on T4x/p systems) to flash the BIOS into the chip. The same tool is used by [http://www.samsungpc.com/gb/support/p35/bios/bios-instructions.html other vendors] to flash the BIOS from bootable CD-ROMs.
{{WARN|Do '''not''' use the [http://syslinux.zytor.com/ SYSLINUX] image-loader [http://syslinux.zytor.com/memdisk.php MEMDISK] to boot the images! Some flash tools crash in that situation!}}

Some interesting but very technical information about the used flash tool can be found [http://www.paul.sladen.org/thinkpad-r31/wifi-card-pci-ids.html here].

===Creating a Floppy Image===
If you have created a boot floppy on another machine, you need to create an image file of that floppy. This can be easily done in linux by running a command line:

:{{cmdroot|1=dd bs=2x80x18b if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/floppy.img}}

You can also create a floppy image by using Ken Kato's [http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vfd.html VMware's back]. It is a free Windoze tool that creates a virtual floppy drive and allows you to produce an image file ready to be ISO'ed. Note: you might have to 'manually' (through application's interface) assign the virtual drive a volume letter in order to be seen by IBM's application (as, by default, it seems not to do it).

You should verify this {{path|floppy.img}} as explained above.

===Creating a Bootable CD from a Floppy Image===
Once you have your floppy image, either from imaging a real floppy, or from extracting them via the cabextract method above, you need to make a boot CD out of it.

The eltorito bootable CD standard is a wonderful thing. What this means is that a bootable CD can be made with a bootable floppy in such as way that the CD believes that it is a 2.88 MB floppy drive. This allows you to replace a boot floppy by a boot CD in nearly all situations.

It is very easy to create such a bootable CD ISO image in Linux using the mkisofs tool. To do this run a command as follows:

:{{cmdroot|mkisofs -b bootfloppy.img -o bootcd.iso bootfloppy.img}}

Note: You don't strictly need the last {{path|bootfloppy.img}}, however some versions of mkisofs get confused about why you would want to create an iso with no contents, and thus won't let you. You don't actually care about the contents of the CD, you only care that the <tt>-b <boot image></tt> is applied to the CD. For more info on this read {{cmduser|man mkisofs}}.

You can now burn the {{path|bootcd.iso}} in your favorite CD burning program.

To get an overview which models have been tested with this version, here is a list:

Please note that testing this is '''at your own risk'''!!!

:{{cmdroot|mount -o loop <iso-bios-file> /tmp/iso}}
:{{cmdroot|cp /tmp/iso/* /tmp/cdimage}}
:{{cmdroot|cp <freedos-disk-image> /tmp/cdimage/floppy.img}}
:{{cmdroot|mkisofs -b floppy.img -o bootcd.iso /tmp/cdimage}}

finished.. now boot from cd and flash.

==Updating via Grub and a Floppy Image==

{{WARN|Many have warned '''not''' to use the [http://syslinux.zytor.com/ SYSLINUX] image-loader [http://syslinux.zytor.com/memdisk.php MEMDISK] to boot the images! Some flash tools may crash in that situation! Proceed at your own risk!}}

Floppy images may be booted from Grub via a utility called [http://syslinux.zytor.com/memdisk.php MEMDISK], which may be compiled from the [http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ '''SYSLINUX source''']. Copy the compiled memdisk image and the floppy image to your boot directory and configure grub as follows:

<blockquote style="background: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 1em;">
<pre><nowiki>
title Bios Flash
kernel /boot/memdisk
initrd /boot/FILENAME.img
</nowiki></pre></blockquote>

Again, proceed at your own risk. This was tested on an R51 type 2888.

This also worked for me on a T41p type 2373. --[[User:MrStaticVoid|James Lee]] 20:55, 8 May 2006 (CEST)

==Updating with Network Boot Image==

BIOS, Embedded Controller (EC), CD/DVD and Harddisk firmware disks can be booted
over the network with [http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php PXELINUX] as part of the [http://syslinux.zytor.com/ SYSLINUX] package.

This requires that you have a DHCP and tftp server configured and setup properly on
your network, and is probably not for the faint of heart.

Make sure the firmware bootdisk is in linux 'dd' format, as the self-extracting .exe disks
from the IBM website cannot be booted directly as such.

This worked on the {{R31}}, {{X22}}, {{T21}}, {{T30}} and {{T41p}} with various firmware updates.

==Updating via "IBM Predesktop area", suitable for model X (not have CDROM and floppy)==
It's so difficult to update BIOS and ECP without cdrom, floppy disk.
Don't know the reason why I couldn't update BIOS and ECP(1QHJ08US and 1QUJ19US) for my IBM Thinkpad X31.Hmm, may be cause of the dividing partition on my hard disk, that is:
<blockquote style="background: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 1em;">
<pre><nowiki>
Primary: ext3, ext3, ntfs
Extended: Ntsf, fat32

No problem, you can use this way to do it:
* First, config in BIOS
In Security part:
# Remove all password of Subpervisor and Power on password
# Set Access IBM Predesktop Area to Normal
# Choose Enable "Flash BIOS updating by End User" in BIOS update Option.

In Config part:
# Choose Enable for Network flash over Lan

* Second, download the newest version of BIOS update and ECP update
Running: The program extract all files to the folder. There is a .img file (1QUJ19US.IMG, 1QUJ08US.IMG) in each folder.
Copy the imformation content in that img file and paste it to one FAT partition(using winimage or TotalCmd to extract)

as seen All files in 1QUJ19US.IMG is extracted to D:\BIOS

==Check List==

The following is important to remember:
# You must update '''both''' the Control Program and the BIOS at the same time if your current Control Program is not compatible with the new BIOS (see below)
# You must find versions of the Control Program and BIOS that are compatible. Not all of them are, so follow the readmes on the IBM website carefully to determine which are.
# You must update the Control Program '''before''' you update the BIOS

When the Control Program '''and''' the BIOS need updating, have both update disks or CDs ready. Update the Control Program first and the system should switch itself off when finished. Insert the BIOS update disk and proceed to update the BIOS. When it's all finished, enter setup, reset the settings to their defaults and reboot. Enter setup again and tweak the settings as necessary.
