For Linux on the 750, I had to wire-in the disk geometry. The zImage file that you have for the thinkpad probably reflects my 320Mb disk drive, so it won't work with your 170Mb drive. There may be other problems also; I'm not sure what the differences are between the 750 and the 360. The only way I could get Linux running was to install Linux on a normal 386 system, and repeatedly try patching the kernel source on that machin until I could get it to load on the thinkpad. I used the UMSDOS hack to install a root file system on the thinkpad's disk until I could build a real file system. Eventually I got it running, only to abandon it later because the Linux networking code at that time wasn't robust enough. I'm now running NetBSD 0.9 on my 750 (which also required several patches). The patches I used for Linux, along with a couple of other fixes that came along later, are available for anonymous ftp from cs.utk.edu, directory pub/moore/linux. Keith Moore
