"coreboot_grub.cfg" instead "libreboot_grub.cfg" cd /boot/grub/ sudo ln -s grub.cfg libreboot_grub.cfg now it works

The advantage of Libreboot is that you can not only install encrypted root, but an encrypted /boot partition too because it has its own GRUB payload. See https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/encrypted_trisquel.html Good luck!

Both have internal firmware. See the libreboot FAQ for more info on this issue

Thanks for all your comments. Do you know anything about the difference in freedom/privacy whether you choose a traditional hard disk or a SSD?

I can compare it with an ASUS X201E (2013) and a X54L (2014) and the Libreboot X200 is faster, the LCD screen is better it doesn't tired my eyes and also has a really keyboard. The wifi works better than the others two Asus and the blueooth too. I bought it because I wanted only free

These are wonderful machines, better than some people think. The thinkpad gamma was designed to be able to resist harsh conditions like exposure to a metal powder environment, high temperatures and so on. They are robust and are capable of running during long periods of time without heating

Recently I bought a Libreboot x200 (very good machine) and I tried two installations. The fist, encrypted only the “home” partition and the second with the “root” partition encrypted (and a normal “boot” partition). The GRUB payload starts automatically only with the entire root partition

As I understand it Libreboot x200 is basically a Lenovo x200 running Trisquel. The x200 (as well as the T400) are a bit old models. Aren't they slow compared t other machines? I like the idea behind Libreboot very much, but woory about the machines performance. I also understood - please

Yes they are slower than newest machines. They might still boot faster, thanks to libreboot. (proprietary stock bioses are notoriously slow) :) What kind of use is the machine for?
