Installing Debian Sid on a ThinkPad X201s 5413-A13

Before the installation

I used the Debian Squeze D-I Alpha 1 (built on the 22.03.2010) from USB, as I do not have a CD/DVD-ROM. The installer boots fine (in contrast to the Lenny one, which cries with kernel oopses), but can't bring up the network card. This was ok for me, YMMV.

Installation

Boot CD/USB, install. No special hacks needed (ncurses installer, didn't try the GTK one).

Hardware support

The installer installed linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64, but I am running linux-image-2.6.33-2-amd64 from experimental and a self built 2.6.34-rc4.

Hardware works with 2.6.32 works with 2.6.33 works with 2.6.34-rc4 driver notes

Problems

Suspend

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/532374 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15407

As suggested in comment 80 from LP#532374 I added acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable to the kernel options, and 2.6.34-rc4 suspends and resumes fine now.

This is fixed since BIOS 1.14-1.08/1.08.

No USB after resume

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/566149

Fix: either patch the kernel with pci-re-enable-devices-on-resume.patch or run 2.6.24-rc6.

Black screen after boot

I often had a black screen after I booted the machine up. Updating BIOS to 1.12-1.07/1.07 and disabling Intel AMT solved the issue.
