I've tried to boot the ISO image (RC2) on an IBM Thinkpad, type 2621. I get the keyboard probe, and then the >> boot prompt comes up. It doesn't appear to be able to see the loader, and can't boot a kernel. In a Desktop system the disc works all the way to the sysinstall menu. I'm not sure if this is a known issue with the thinkpads or with the ISO boot image, but I thought it might be worth letting people know. I managed to install -CURRENT before on this machine off of floppies and over FTP, so I don't believe it's an issue with the kernel or the hardware in general. Does anyone have any ideas?
