Lenovo Thinkpad X60s (UK156FR) Type 1704-56G On Debian Etch (Kernel 2.6.20.1) --Monphpnet 18:23, 4 March 2007 (CET)

The first install on debian stable releases doesn't work

due to a lot of problems with sata disk on this model.

I'm take a daily built installation disk on testing release

i used the netinstaller iso images with an external usb-cdrom drive (work fine)

Debian GNU/Linux testing "Etch" - Official Snapshot amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20070215-09:21

This netinstaller is used for portability with IBM-systems Compatible.

after netinstaller and first reboot i'm take a source Kernel 2.6.20.1 from the kernel.org

And make package with modules and initrd image linux-image-2.6.20.1_2.6.20.1_i386.deb
