Silly me, i thought loading Ubuntu on a used IBM ThinkPad T23 would be easy. Well it mostly works, but I got a wakeup call when it overheated. Googling, I found setting BIOS "AC: Max Performance" is a bad idea (ok, fix that! Didn't mean to be overclocking ;-) And That APM is old news, but that ACPI support in Linux is still do-it-yourself. And Ubuntu being bleeding edge, installed APCI but generic. (At least Lid suspend works.) Looks like I need to add ibm-apci kernel module support at the very least. When I boot there are several other "mod probe" suggestsions that go scrolling by. I guess they're not kernel messages per se since they aren't logged in 'dmesg's ring buffer. Can I retrieve those mod-probe warnings later from some log file? Any other warnings? Bill
