First, I have a T60, not a T61.  So there may be something different.

I am using the default of 0x00.  No problems on my T60 with 3.09.

I am also running SNAP.  I've not tried Panorama, primarily due to
hearing stories such as the above.

Using UniAud on my [ICH0 Family] HD Audio.  I am using the 1.9.2 level
from Paul Smedley with the 1.16 level.  Only a very rare hang, and even
a few of those seem to release after just letting it sit for a minute
or so.

Using the 0.911 level of FAT32.  I've not upgraded due to some reports
of slower performance.  It's already a bit slow; didn't want to make
things worse.  Nice to know that Ubuntu can handle JFS.  I may try that
at some point if I ever get around to installing Linux.

I have:  xD photo cards, SD cards for my Palm Treo.  Both work very
nicely with both the Advanced Dock slots and a 12:1 SanDisk reader.  I
also use SanDisk flash drives on a regular basis with no issues.  And,
finally, I have a 250GB WD USB 2.0 external drive.  The WD has HPFS and
FAT32 partitions.  I have allocated partions for, but not yet
installed, Ubuntu 8.04.  I hope to get that done next week.

This said, the USBDOCK utility has not recognized any USB devices for a
number of months.  It worked when I first installed eCS 2.0 RC2, but
not since.  I have no idea what the problem is.  As long as the devices
work, I've not wasted time trying to diagnose/debug it.  It would be
nice if it worked, though.

See comments about xD photo card above.

The only other comment I have is that I do not use the /APIC switch for
the PSD ACPI.  It caused a hang early in the 3.0x process so I removed
it; never had a need to try again.
