Hi All,
I've had my IBM ThinkPad model 380Z dead (laptop not going thru POST, suspicion
is about flash BIOS was wiped out) after "apt-get dist-upgrade" and following
hibernation last Friday.
It could be due to this 3 y.o. laptop was broken itself or due to new thinkpad*
related packages installed (I remember tpctl for sure).
Does somebody else have the similar problem?
Could it be really caused by problems during new package installation?
I have a second new ThinkPad and I don't want to take any risk to damage it too
(the same packages are installed but not upgraded yet).
There was up-to-date Woody installation on it with custom 2.4.16 kernel and old
thinkpad-source & pcmcia-cs modules compiled/installed.
Pavel.
PS: I know that my IBM TP BIOS had several mistakes in it (i.e switching
occasionally LCD display off when on AC power).

I can't claim to have the solution. But as a suggestion: Keep the
things like tpctl back by selecting them in dselect with a (=).
I have a Thinkpad running only Testing and it's been nothing but a joy
to play with. More stable than my ex-wife and more pleasant too!
I also have to admit that I have a somewhat up-to-date BIOS on this
computer.
