Chris,
I also run a T41 without any problems. Here are the specs:
T41 => 2373-9FU 1.7Ghz CPU 60GB 7200RPM drive 1.5GB ram
Model = 2373-7FU 1.6 GHz 40 GB 5400 RPM Drive (as far as I know about the RPM) 1 GB RAM (SODIMM PC2100)
running kernel: 2.6.10-1.737_FC3
kernel 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 is running with 'few' problems. kernel 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 used to run with almost no problems.
I tried the 2.6.10 kernels (build 737 and 741) and am not running very successful. 737 would panic during boot up when it detected the SCSI card (Adaptec SlimSCSI-1480 Cardbus card). After removing that as well as the Belkin FireWire Cardbbus card, it still crashed - so I don't think it's the card(s).
I have the internal IPW2100 card up and running so I can sit in theiving room and watch TV while using the machine ;) - in 11 mbit mode801.11b, not g).
The only other piece of extra hardware is a Logitech USB optical mouse.

I'm not sure, how much trouble VMWare is - it's telling me when I start it up, that it hasn't been certified on this kernel.
Thanks for any help...
The only problem that I've had to date was a mysterious sound issue where all of the sound devices in the mixer seemed to be muted.
I'm having some issues with usb-2.0 but from what others write it doesn't seem to be specific to my laptop.
I'd be happy to share any configs with you.
HTH, Harry

Hi all,
I upgraded my T41 with the latest kernel this morning. It crashes
during
startup when it tries to start X without any error messages.
Ctrl-Alt-F1 gets me nowhere. I also have not disabled Ctrl-ALT-Del
for
these situations but it's not reactling either. The machine can not bepinged' from another machine either.
I'm back on build 724 and most things work, Firefox still crashes
from
time to time and X still terminates without warning every now and
then.
So far, I have not been able to establish a pattern.
VMWare seems to make the kernel panic on occasion (Panic message
doesn't
appear on the X11 screen but the caps-lock LED starts flashing, indicating a panic).
I already have lm_sensors disabled.
Any ideas to make the T41 more stable will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris
