Re: daily thinkpad 770 ed post :-)
The only way we were able to get our thinkpad to boot debian was to
rebuild the kernel using 'make zimage' instead of 'bzimage'. The tecra fix
doesn't work for 2.0.34 or above for us. The other alternative is to use
the development 2.1.1xx kernel. A make zimage for that does work.
