did you read the comments?? quoted: "New thinkpad BIOS are using 165 for their own use even though this is used by FreeBSD for its native file system" quoted: "For anybody that hasn't heard, the problem with FreeBSD in this case is that partition type A5 (which FreeBSD uses) happens to be the value that IBM is using for their suspend partition. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a really definitive place to register these values (I could be wrong on that). If you want to use FreeBSD, you need to use a non-default filesystem, and it should be fine. Just DON'T use A5 on these ThinkPads..." So use ext2 or some other FS for your freebsd slices! -----Original Message----- From: Gunnar Flygt To: FreeBSD Stable Sent: 11/30/2000 12:07 PM Subject: Can this really be true? FreeBSD not working on IBM T20's Is this really the situation, that FreeBSD is not booting on the latest IBM thinkpads? That would really be a pity, since I was going to buy such a nice little beast after newyear. http://bsdtoday.com/2000/November/News342.html -- __o regards, Gunnar ---_ \<,_ email: flygt@sr.se ---- (_)/ (_) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
