Hi,

I just installed xubuntu 9.10 and tried to boot it on Thinkpad 240, and then I got the following message.

[ 28.274013] piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.3: IBM system detected; this module may corrupt your serial eeprom! Refusing to load module!


The thing is I installed Xubuntu on the other machine(Thinkpad 570) and moved the HDD back to Thinkpad 240. The same HDD boots the OS just fine on TP570. I guess the error with TP240 came from the system difference between TP570 and 240.

Is there any suggestion to work around this issue ?

Appreciate your help.
