I've set this project aside for a few weeks as, despite the fact that I felt I was getting very close to success, it became too frustrating to continue. In brief, here are the symptoms: The machine (T61-Q9000) runs flawlessly under Windows. It will run for days on end and is rock solid under...

Solder surface tension + heat pulling SMD component off the board and making it fly across the room... Done it a few times. It's a sickening feeling. When I had young eyes it was no problem at all... Now I basically abandon all hope. Even on rather large screws. ;) I'm guessing (totally...

I've made some progress with my ACPI tables problem and I'm going to post what I've found in the hope that it will help someone trying to tackle the same issues. 1) There have been changes to grub and the kernel such that the command in the initial "howto" post will not work anymore. You...

Gern geschehen. Entschuldigung für mein schreckliches Deutsch :) Am besten prüfen Sie mit einem Multimeter die Durchgängigkeit zwischen dem Widerstand, an dem Sie den Draht angeschlossen haben, und dem Durchkontakt ("via") direkt daneben. Es sollte keine Kontinuität geben.

I've been messing around with the ACPI tables trying to figure out what's going on, and it's almost 100% certain that my tables aren't being loaded. I dumped the ACPI tables on my machine and found that they're quite different from those in the archive linked in the instructions. I'm guessing...

edit: old post was unlocked, this became redundant.

Thanks so much for the clarifications... it's very helpful as I feel like I'm mostly flying blind. I feel like I'm starting to develop enough of a sense of what's supposed to be going on that I can at least try to approach the problem scientifically. So, I made the changes you suggested- and...

Hi, Thanks so much for helping. edit: to be completely clear- yes, I did follow the instructions in that post. I'm going to have to reboot into Linux to get the previous version of SSDT6 that I used, but I can tell you that the behavior was the same with this file as well as the earlier...

I see other posts in English, hopefully nobody minds if I do! I've done the quad core mod on a widescreen T61 and everything is working very well- except getting proper ACPI/voltage/multiplier settings working under linux. I'm hoping someone out there who has gotten things working under...
