No changes -- same > oops during startup. Today, I got my old T-30 back, complete with decals. The same oops happens on startup of 2.6.6. The work order says that in addition to replacing the fan and CDRW drive, they updated the BIOS. So I'm pretty certain the BIOS is causing a kernel oops. I tried the patch by Shaohua Li but I still get the kernel oops.=20 What else can I do? Should I put a bunch of printks all over the place, to see where the crash is, and under what conditions? Should I try more versions of the kernel? Would you like to see the tables for the machine?
