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

I installed RC7 first under VirtualBox on Windows and Ubuntu.  No SMP, no sound, no USB, HPFS.  The most basic install I could do.

I had no big problem installing live on my T61.  I am running with Panorama, SMP, and I have sound.

If you plan to use SMP, do not install APM.
