[ltp] Cannot install debian on th 600e type 2645 - 55u

[toffe]

Hey!

I had some weird stuff going on with my 600. But then I found out that 
if I remove the battery (its broke and the orange charge led is flashing 
all the time) all  installation/boot etc problems went away. And I have 
confirmed this a couple of times.

Regards /C
