Hi Peter, thanks for your feedback.
I guess the reason I am doing it, is as I love the way CentOS works, I.e.
the stability and performance. I am currently running it on a ThinkPad
Edge 11 and all seems to work great.
Just looks like the e1000e NIC driver is not working with the kernel in
6.0. I have also tried this with RHEL 6.1 but that also gets me stuck at
the booting of the x220.
I have tried to understand how the "load driver disk" works with CentOS
and RHEL based systems, but I am failing to get it working.
I have got my hands on the e1000e driver and patched the initrd but still
no go.
That's why I wanted to check if anyone else has got this working :)
Anyone else?
Kind regards,
Janne Nyman
