Jon:

I have a T61p with eCS2.0 RC7 (Silver) installed. It works very well (except possibly for sound, which I do not miss and did not really try to make it work.) Installation was straight-forward: not a single problem was in my way, as far as I remember, except initially for the built-in wireless, which is now solved. Snap was not as good as the other video driver (forgot the name), which works well.

Has anyone installed the Silver Edition on a TP61?

My first installed trapped on the fat32 driver.

I had added acpi to the optional list to install.  That gave me PSD=ACPI.PSD in my config.sys.  Perhaps I should not have added acpi to the list since the dual core should have detected it and apparently did not.

I then changed the config.sys to PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /ACPI and restarted.  Then it trapped loading cdfs.

I rem'd out acpi and rebooted and the install completed.

Bottom line, inspite of what I read in the readme, if acpi is not detected automatically in the preboot screen, don't select to add it.  You can add it with the post-install wizard.

Now I'm going to reformat and do it again to verify this really is valid info.

HTH,
Jon
