Re: Thinkpad 600 Users I need some help!

There are several ThinkPad 600 systems with slightly different
hardware, so this may not prove too useful.

First, mwave currently works fine for several people using the 600E
and 600X. I think I have also had reports that it works on the
original 600. What are you seeing on your system?

No, the 600 does not need PNPBIOS built into the kernel.

Sound is a trickier issue as I know that different flavors of 600 have
very different sound devices.

First, get to know the ps2 utility. It's the only way to configure
many BIOS parameters on ThinkPads. Make sure that the device you want
to use is enabled in BIOS. Make a note of the IRQs being used for the
sound chip. Most likely IRQ 5.

My config contains:
device pcm0 at isa? port 0x52c irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x10

This works on the 600E, but I suspect that the 600 is a bit
different. The output of dmesg and the config file you used to build
the kernel would also help.

Finally, for the 600E you must edit /sys/conf/files a bit before
building the kernel. The attached script will do the required stuff,
if you need it.

Finally, I don't see any reason to turn on PNPBIOS in the kernel.
