Hi Gang,

I've had this problem for a while, but have never worried too much about it as the T60 is basically just a hack machine for testing things out on when I don't want to trash my desktop, but since my monitor died on my last night after a power cut, my desktop is useless, so I'm using the T60 full time until I can get the monitor repaired.

Anyway, to the problem - the T60 works great in normal use, the only problem is if I leave it idle for a while, I come back and find the system sitting at a trap dump screen (Trap 0008).

Any suggestions?

Currently running eCS v2 rc6a (although same trap appeared with older rc's too). I might try using Panorama in place of Snap and see if that helps, other than than I have no clue :(

Hi, Paul...

A couple things come to mind:

Power management & GenMAC

Which Win32 driver is in your wrapper directory? I updated some a while back, but I'd have to look to see if the few I submitted cover the T60 (I believe they do/did). Try turning off all power mgmt on the system. Check the BIOS & embedded controller firmware versions against the latest available from Lenovo.

BIOS was the latest the last time I checked - but I will check again.

Drivers used are:
E1E5132.sys - ethernet
AR5211abg.sys - wireless lan

I updated the ethernet driver with the latest on my XP partition, and the system hung before the WPS started up - so I just removed the ethernet driver as I never use it :)  Will see if that helps.

Thanks for the tips.
