General Comments
2018-01-28: Installation of AOS5.0.1 went successful, also installation of eCS2.2BetaII - both from external DVD-Drive (USB), USB only stable with the branch of Lars Erdmann

Old: Installation on X250 from USB-CD/DVD-ROM failed. eCS v2.1 started up to maintenance screen bot no HDD was found. eCS v2.2 Beta II even did not start up from CD/DVD-ROM. I tried to clone my existing system using DFSee and finally worked after some trouble with partition alignment. Status now on X250 is a working eCS v.2.1 with ACPI showing 4 cores, full support of native screen resolution via PANORAMA, working USB (mouse and thumb drive tested as well as USB keyboard in docking station) after disabling USB3.0 in BIOS.


 * Mike Kölling Report:
 * ArcaOS 5.0.4 with USB 3.0 drivers is working. However he experienced performance issues with the mouse, when using the X250 in the docking station.

Audio

The try the following command on Startup.cmd unimix -id1 -val87 -cnt0 unimix -id1 -val87 -cnt1 It is possible that newer version of Uniaud will include this settings.
