[ltp] Problems when installing RH7.0 in IBM ThinkPad 560Z

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

Hi,

I installed RH7.0 in my ThinkPad 560Z.
I have experiences installing RH Linux in various desktop system without
trouble, but this time I encountered a lot of problems.

Kindly please everyone with Linux ThinkPad experiences help me
solve the problems. Thanks.

Here are list of problems :

apmd can't resume

apmd daemon run without any error reporting, but everytime I close the lid,
and
reopen it, the laptop not responding and I had to restart the system
not in a proper way. I guess the harddisk was the problem, but I am not
sure.

processor and memory aren't correctly identified

The thinpad have a mobile Pentium II processor 233 MHz and 96 megs of
memory.
But the information in /proc, are :

$cat /proc/cpuinfo

PCMCIA doesn't work well with PC IDE Card

cardmgr didn't report anything when I insert and eject PC IDE Card to
attach
my CDROM. All pcmcia_core, ds, and i86325 installed correctly. There
weren't
any beep either.

rgds,
