DRAFT! Installationdiary - Gentoo on a X220 DRAFT!

Model Specs

X220 - 4290-W1B

replaced internal HD with SSD Intel SSD 320 Series 120GB, 2.5", SATA II (SSDSA2CW120G310)

BIOS Update

Turns out to be very Linux unfriendly. There a ways to boot the .iso image with grub. I tried grub2 with help from syslinux memdisk, reached some kind of bios update menu. But got stuck there. After all I did it by installing Win7 and running the Windows BIOS update tool.
