Hi, My new employer provided me with a brand new ThinkPad 770X. Of course the first thing I tried was to boot FreeBSD on it. No luck :( The symptoms are as follows: sometime during the probing, or even later if I'm active enough pressing keys (see below) the machine hangs, and never recovers. I suspect it's somehow related to energy saving features - perhaps it just decides to go to sleep? Anyway, after this I'm totally unable to reboot it. The funny thing is that ThinkPad doesn't have the reset button, so I have to pull out the battery in order to reboot it... :-) Perhaps someone already went through this, and can give me a hint... TIA. Oh, BTW - the BIOS setup on this really sucks, it's a winblows oriented dummy icons which really don't give you any control over the details.
