1.2 -> T60p dual core

[A.D. Fundum]

My most frequently used Pentium III IBM T23 just died. Possibly a fuse
or a dead mobo.

Is it possible to upgrade the 1.2 (not 1.2R) installation CD to work
with a dual core IBM/Lenovo T60p? If so, do you replace file in an ISO
file or do you have to create a new bootable CD ISO file? If so, by
using e.g. CDBoot @ Hobbes?

Without upgrades and a skipped TESTCFG.SYS the best result (single
core, performance mode) is the partitioning GUI, without a recognized
drive. In compatibility mode the installer crashes.

Can I skip TESTCFG.SYS again, use performance mode, use
SMP20050811.ZIP to obtain a SMP kernel, and upgrade DANI* to support
the harddisk?

Disabling the second core ia an option too, but not the prefered
option.

Just use UPDCD to make an updated bootable CD with all the SMP files
necessary and even update USB and so on.

you need ACPI and quite sure Panorama VESA to get running this model
more or less acceptable with OS/2.

You might install eCS 1.2 some where else and then get the driver
package from Arca Noae and include them in this installation, finally
you have to transfer this installation to the hdd of your T60p.

I thinks that is the easiest option!

(Or get an eCS 2.x and update it with the latest driver).
