[ltp] FC5 install on T60 locks up

[Whil Hentzen]

 From 2006/7/28...

 > Trying to install Fedora Core 5 on a new T60 2623 D3U, 2 GB RAM. ATI
 > 7145. Hooked up to a essential port replicator.

I had pulled out the second DRAMM and the box worked fine. I switched 
the DRAMMs and the box worked fine. But with both in, the machine would 
lock up hard every time. So....

I sent the box back to IBM for repair. It was returned 48 hours later. 
(Wow!)

The repair sheet said "BIOS/Embedded Controller updates were performed..."

I've now installed FC5 on the box and it's been running for a half day, 
letting me dink around on the Internet (it's amazing all of the stuff 
that's out there!). I did a complete update (downloaded and installed 
860 MB of stuff) and nary a burp.

Case closed. Just thought I'd mention this for the archives in case 
someone else runs into a similar problem.

And thx to those who offered ideas on what might be wrong!
