Thanks for the response Nigel,

There does exist a recent bios update for this machine:

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-58127

Hmm, it requires windows, and I've already wiped out that partition. I
did a search but it seems really scary to update the BIOS via Linux.

Anyone else out there have a Thinkpad G41 and has successfully upgraded
their BIOS?

Thanks,
