Instalation Procedure
Install eComStation 2.1 on this machine using a USB external mouse.
Boot with custom setting from the CD-ROM and enable the AHCI driver. From that you can follow the installation procedure normally.
Issues
Trackpoint/Trackpad do not work on the Installation Procedure
Workaround: Use external USB mouse. Issue: [1]
Keyboard stops working
Sometimes the keyboard of the thinkpad stops working. This seems to be because of the other ACPI driver. Workaround: Update the ACPI driver to version 3.22.03 and include the patched USBKeyboard driver on the installation to be compatible to SMP.
Video
If you are using Panorama driver, it is a good idea to update to version 1.03 (from Mensys beta downloads). It will allow you to select the 1366x768 video resolution.
Wired Network
The RealTek Semiconductor RTL8168D/8111D PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Adapter for recognized with the R8110.OS2 network driver when it installed. But it did not work, it loads but it not works to connect to the network. So I used Multimac R8169.OS2 and it started to work.
