Vasanth.
I apologize for not replying sooner. While you didn't say which Thinkpad you
were trying the install on, perhaps the following URL which discusses my
install on this 760ED will help:

I had to run down some obscure boot disk image to make the Debian install go and
the page above lists the file names and locations.
Hope this helps.
