Thinkpad tips

Symptom:

The system crashes at some arbitray stage of the boot process.

Cause:

The reason is proprietary hardware. No information is released about it by the manufacturer. Thus it is very difficult or even impossible for the kernel programmers to provide a correctly working software. See also maddin_dos.html.

Solution:

There is no general solution. A working procedure (at least with older models) seems to be, to start the installation from DOS with setup.exe and to load Linux with loadlin.

More tips :

We've collected these tips from the feedback of our customers over the time. We're always interested in feedback: mailto:feedback@suse.de.
