Coreboot has great documentation and community. I once "corebooted" my X60s with a picture of my family and contact details in case the laptop is lost. The laptop was never lost, but my wife loved the picture of the _very_ early boot stage.
It's a great project from user's perspective: healthy community, very interesting, quick-reward project to play with.
If you have a spare compatible thinkpad, I highly encourage you to try it out. :-) IIRC, there is a patch from me in coreboot -- it was so easy to prepare and submit one.
- keithpeter 11y agoI'm posting this from an X60 that runs gNewSense. I removed the wifi card to reduce the heat on the palm rest and to increase the friction to spending time on the Web instead of writing. I use a netgear USB wifi adaptor for when I want to use a connection. I'm reading the page at http://www.coreboot.org/Board:lenovo/x60/Installation http://www.coreboot.org/Board:lenovo/x60/Installation and wondering how hard it would be to put coreboot on this. I'm also wondering about suspend, the BIOS settings (ability to switch a core off and change power profiles &c). It would also be really cool to have a QR code display when the laptop boots. Have you done a write-up anywhere?
- pgeorgi 11y agoThere's http://libreboot.org/docs/install/index.html#flashrom_lenovobios http://libreboot.org/docs/install/index.html#flashrom_lenovo... Since you're using gNewSense, you may appreciate what libreboot is doing with coreboot (libreboot:coreboot ~ kernel-libre:kernel)
