Thanks to everyone for suggestions. I've had a chance to try a build of
daedalus --- it didn't work either. Temporarily back on Kubuntu
(busy/bad time of the year to be playing with hardware configs). I did
get a comparison of the outputs of lsusb, lspci, and lsmod on both
daedalus and kubuntu. lsusb and lspci are unchanged (no surprise?) but
the list of differences in the "lsmod" output is quite long.
What I *think* I'm picking out of that is the presence of nVidia
devices, particularly for audio and for a "VGA compatible controller"
(although there's also an Intel GT1 VGA compatible controller) in the
"lspci" output. So I'm thinking that I'm missing some proprietary drivers.
I'll dig into adding proprietary drivers. The Lenovo website only lists
Windows-based driver/firmware/BIOS updates, so that's no help. Am I
right that the process for Debian and for Devuan should be about the same?
thanks again, -Bob

I just got a Thinkpad P1 gen 4, and Chimaera doesn't recognize the audio,
camera, or HDMI port (not to mention the fingerprint sensor in the power
switch). I could use some guidance in what to look for...
It has a Tiger Lake-H processor, I don't know what chipset. I think I need a command
like "lspci" to identify the multimedia hardware, but I don't know what to look
for.
For what it's worth, the last couple of releases of Ubuntu *do* support the
multimedia hardware. Do I need to move to Daedalus? If so, is there an
install package for that?
Thanks for any help in getting this machine up on Devuan.

There is a page at https://thinkstation-specs.com/thinkpad/p1-gen-4-2021/ which
appears to list some specs. Also a PDF at
https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_P1_Gen_4/ThinkPad_P1_Gen_4_Spec.pdf
Have you tried updating to the latest bios? That might help if there are any
relevant bug fixes.

I would follow the advice of Gastón and install the kernel from
chimaera-backports as it will be much simpler than trying to upgrade to
daedalus.
https://www.devuan.org/os/packages
Add the backports repository to apt sources and then run
apt-get update && apt-get install -t chimaera-backports linux-image-amd64
