I hope this could be useful to some of you. Have simplified the kernel patching process for 2.6.11.4 having the patches I need for ACPI, ibm_acpi, swsusp2 working on my T40. If you are interested the patch bundle and the corresponding .config file are on my wiki: > http://chefacciamo.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Debian/26114 HTH, Bob
