Just so everyone is clear, tx2500 is the generic name for any tx25?? model. We could more clearly say "tx2500 series", but the idea is the same.

And here's my take on your situation: If (1) your...

That's strange, because I tried Fedora 9 and just like Ubuntu Hardy, I couldn't boot by default.

Has anyone seen the thread on AMD "Puma" Laptops and C-states?

It seems that 2.6.26 better supports the new chipsets. I compiled and booted the new kernel and immediately noticed a difference in...

Sorry, take a look at linux-restricted-modules-generic. I'm at 2.6.24.20.22, which should now be part of the standard repos... hardy-proposed contains 2.6.24.21.23. I'll update and report back what...

What the tutorial does to get wireless working, is enable hardy-proposed, which updated the driver to a newer less-broken one. It seems that those proposed updates have been pushed to the standard...

Things that you should be able to get working for sure (there may be others) are:

wireless
digitizer
battery indicator (it drops like a rock due to no cpu scaling, but hey, it works!)

hit up...

I just want to reiterate that the notion that the "temperature problem" is fixed is a misnomer... We've really only got a workaround... truth is that the CPU doesn't scale and the fans blow at full...

No real answer for you, but I thought I'd toss in some info about it that might help someone else debug the situation:

Oh yay! Glad someone confirms it all works in that order. The only thing I can think of regarding the sound... is tghat I only included 1 of 2 lines detailed in the original post, because when I...

Hrm... did you try booting with only acpi=off? I never had to supply nolapic or noapic. I'll see if I can post a HOWTO.

And regarding battery life, I think we might be SOL until a kernel that...

pluckster:
2.6.24-20 is in the proposed repos
Also, yeah, I'm dual booting Vista Ultimate 32 with Hardy 64

AstronomyDomine:
No, I didn't run dpkg-reconfigure... however, I'm booting in now and...

If you install and boot first time with only "acpi=off", you still don't have LAN? Not once did I ever boot with noapic or nolapic.

If you can't get LAN working for some reason, I would skip the...

AstronomyDomine: I tried the following additional boot options:


<nothing>
noapic
nolapic
noapic nolapic
pci=conf1
acpi=off

Actually, based on that post, I downloaded Fedora 9 with intent to test compatibility...

Turns out that it never boots to installation... Freezes at some point and just sits there forever...

This has been posted as a HOWTO in the Tutorial & Tips forum. I will be updating that post instead of this one. Take me there!

I spent a long time configuring everything, and I thought I'd compile...

Wait until Oct 30, 2008
Install Intrepid Ibex

;)

Honestly it sounds like it might be a little easier to wait for Intrepid... I'm going to consider installing once Alpha 3 comes out and see...
