Pradeor, I've done multiple installs on my laptop. (just testing some stuff before I settled down to do work.... conclusion Blue bytes ) (pun intended) and since installing more ram, I needed a larger "suspend" partition. I lost sound during one of the installs myself for some odd reason. Another had sound but in MCC sound card had no info. Now I keep these two lines from modules.conf handy.
alias sound-slot-0 maestro above snd-es1968 snd-pcm-oss Now Mine is a compaq not an IBM but it does have the same sound card. I'd also recommend going to IBM's site as they have some pretty extensive docs on Linux on the ThinkPad. James PS ... to anyone who uses pre DDR ram on their laptop or desktop..... check out the prices on RAM ..... I found a high of $112.00 US for ram on this puppy (Compaq M700) and was able to buy it for $50.00 Pre DDR ram is at rock bottom again so it's a good time to max out.
