Linux and IBM Thinkpad 390X Type 2626-J0G

It's my story. I just got IBM Thinkpad 390X (IBM P/N 390J0RE).

  • Mobile Pentium II / 400
  • 64 SDRAM
  • 6.4GB(ATA-4)
  • 24X CD-ROM
  • 15" 1024x768--TFT-active matrix
See Detailed Specifications.
Windows 98 has been pre-installed with two partitions: C: (2Gb) and D: (all the rest).

Linux installation

  1. Re-partition the disk with cfdisk. Now it is: 
    Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 789 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       261   2096451    6  FAT16
/dev/hda2           262       273     96390   82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3           274       468   1566337+  83  Linux native
/dev/hda4           469       789   2578432+  83  Linux native
  2. I installed slackware-7.0 without any problem.
  3. Now Linux is running!
  4. Here is XF86Config, which works.
