[ltp] T23 and Suse Live Eval disk?

[jens]

You need the newest bios-update! In older versions you get problems like 
yours because of acpi is activated in standard. 
On boot set the parameters  acpi=off apm=on. Now it will works without 
problems. 

Also you can see my discription about SuSE 8.1 and 8.2 on 
http://tuxmobil.de/ibm_t23.html but it's only in german. :( 

A few days ago i'll write the same for Mandrake 9.1 and 9.2! Now i get 
no problems with Mandrake 9.1.
