[ltp] A warning - don't install Mandrake 10.1

[Nick Bower]

This weekend I made a very poor decision to install Mandrake 10.1 on a 
T42 - I thought it would be low risk becuase Mandrake 10 + 2.6.8.1 
patched kernel worked unbelievably well.

However all supplied 2.6 kernels supplied hung on boot - much effort 
later and removing the nolapic option stopped it hanging.  Momentarily I 
had a bootable system.  However after I configured my network interface, 
randomly an hour later a system hang forced a reboot.  And now again I 
am locked out because the thing locks up on starting netprofile early in 
the boot process.

So don't go near 10.1 if you have a thinkpad and expect a working system 
after.  I can't even boot in failsafe mode to download a new kernel 
right now.  What a joke.  Well done Mandrake!!
