hi, at first: no, I didn't brick my thinkpad x61 :-)
But: I have severe problems since 2.6.26 (jes) kernel: textmode consoles doesn't work most(!) of the time, sometimes the notebook crashes on boot, displaying garbage. The 2.6.24/xen kernel from ubuntu doesn't work with X, too. Suspend/resume doesn't work anymore with the 2.6.26/27 kernel, too (garbage on display) Its a x3100 chipset with 4GB ram, I don't use a highmem-kernel, so I've only 3 GB. Perhaps something with mem sharing between kernel/X/chipset? Ah, and the pen doesn't work most of the time, with wacdump I get many bit errors. The resolution is 1400x1050, sometimes I boot into Vista.
I'm using ubuntu 8.10.
Hopefully this informations help to get a more complete puzzle. Even more information are on my bug reports, https://bugs.launchpad.net/~michael-fritscher Perhaps most of them are connected each other and to this e1000 problem, like memory layout mismatch between kernel/X/chipset.
Sincerly, Michaek Fritscher
