Lenovo Thinkpad x240

[giejo]

Chris, thanks a lot for your kernel! it s working for me on a brand new x240

[marko]

Thanks Chris, kernel worked great!

Chris, you’re a lifesaver! We just got over 950 L440’s, and I’ve been trying different kernels with it all day till I finally tried your custom T440 kernel, which worked just fine.

[Tom Elliott]

Can someone please tell me what changed? Has any body had any luck with the latest kernel’s I’ve been producing?

[Ed Hollendoner]

Chris,

Thanks for the kernel. It worked great on a Lenovo X230 ThinkPad and a Lenovo M73 Mini Desktop.

Tom,

Thanks for all the work you put in on your kernels. I tried all of them. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get any of them to work with the Lenovos that I have.

Chris,

Another big thanks for your kernel. I was successfully able to get my clients (Lenovo Thinkcenter m83’s) to talk to the fog server and run an inventory and upload an image with your kernel. You saved me the pain of putting together a custom kernel myself or giving up on FOG all together.

Tom,

FYI I was unable to get either the kernel that was included with 0.32 or kernel v3.8.8 to load on my m83 client. Here’s the errors I observed with both:

---

tps65010: no chip?
acpi_ibm: ibm_acpihp_init: acpi_walk_namespace failed
Could not find Carillo Ranch MCH device.
uvesafb: failed to execute /sbin/v86d
uvesafb: make sure that the v86d helper is installed and executable.
uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=2)
uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22
drm/i810 does not support SMP
Error: Driver 'mdio-gpio" is already registered, aborting…
cs89x0: request_region(0x320, 0x10) failed

Thanks,

Magnus

Magnus,

While I appreciate the information, I’m not ultimately in charge the kernel’s you’ve listed here.

I have built my own kernels which can be downloaded from:

[url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/url]

I don’t know if it will work, but I’ve modified mine to work from the KS tree as Chris has done. I don’t know if it will work, but as that’s really the only change from my original Core based kernel, and that’s what Chris used, it should work. I just don’t know.

If you get a chance, please try it out and see. If it doesn’t use this kernel. I don’t know what other drivers he’s got added in though so it may not work across the board for your systems.

I will try to test your kernel. I finished making my custom kernel and it is working.

I ran into this issue with some Dell 745 and 755 with ATI cards in them. This kernel worked for me as well. Thanks!

[Tom Elliott]

Michael, not that you need to, but you can test my kernel as well. The issue you’re reporting seems more related to KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) rather than the issue that is plaguing the Lenovo’s. That’s not to say this kernel isn’t correcting the same issue you were seeing, but more just trying to get a kernel built that works across the board, as best as I can at least.

Tom,
I tried your bzImage from your Feb 11th post and it did not work on a Lenovo M93z that I have. I did download the bzImage from Chris and it does work. So it appears that something is still missing from yours. Thanks for your efforts in keeping FOG current!
