It prints a warning at bootup, "more than one ethernet device present, remove and restart", and waits until I hit Escape to continue. So my problem really is, that my hardware/BIOS combination is broken, and thinkpad_acpi just recently started checking that. I was able to patch my DSDT, forcing bluetooth to "installed, disabled" status unconditionally, causing thinkpad_acpi to create the sysfs file /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable and after "echo 1 > bluetooth_enable", everything works like before. Seeing as this is a hacked setup, I think it's best that I post the DSDT patch to Thinkwiki.org, as there are other BIOS hacks/mods there for think kind of thing, installing "unauthorized" wifi modules and such. Thanks for the great work cleaning up Thinkpad's hardware support! Regards, Jeremy Jackson |
