FWIW using a stock redhat 8.0 2.4.18-14 on my 760XD, there is no such
message issued. I've heard that message quoted before, but never tracked
down why it doesn't show up here (is it RedHat, or this antique TP?)
But, with the apm=allow_ints, it has been 100% reliable.

Also, although I didn't put much stock in the comment, I do recall one
individual swearing that removing the forced setting made by the IBM
detection solved his problems. Obviously though, not all thinkpads are
created equal ;)

Good luck,
