:I believe the part that makes them work on Thinkpads is the fact they're

:kernels cause Thinkpads, and many other laptops, freak out during boot.
:If you use kernel-package you can still generate a zImage ... I forget

:as usual.
make-kpkg --zImage ...
I created a set of boot-floppies with Bruce's boot-floppy
package and another test bootdisk (using the same kernel
configuration).
The boot-floppies hang on me after the "loading linux.." but
I manage to advance to beyond the scroll of kernel boot
messages until I got a kernel panick (due to no root
device).
Any idea??
If possible, can anyone advise on how I can get the
configuration of the bo-tecra boot-disk... or has anyone
successfully installed hamm on the thinkpad (esp 560x).
Thanks again...
Just me,
Wire ...
