However, there's no sound from the flash movie, and the wired ethernet doesn't work - ping says "no path to host". Ubuntu live CD 7.04 bootup throws an error: eth0: e1000_request_irq: Unable to allocate MSI interrupt Error: -22 and it hangs on "Configuring network interfaces". Guess I'll have to boot up the preinstalled XP and see what works there:-( Not my machine; configuring another one for a grad going off to college in the fall. This suggests this Lenovo (not built by IBM themselves) system does not have an audio chipset supported by UniAud at the time when the eCS 1.2 boot CD was created (you could try installing a later release of Uniaud but it would only be there until you reboot as it will install to the RAM disk). This is right on target. You do need the latest (or later than 1.2R) UNIAUD to get sound on the T60. Same comment with the NIC - not in GenMAC - I suspect this is a Broadcom chipset ? You could install the OS/2 driver from Broadcom themselves but again it will only be a temporary install. No, the NIC in the T60 is an Intel (IIRC), and only supported by GenMAC 2.0+ (actually, the latest test versions). The demo CD would have to be tweaked to run properly on the T60. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <os2-wireless_users@2rosenthals.com>.
