IBM / Lenovo ThinkPad T61 - Part 2

IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T61
Part 2 - iATKOS_L2 Install 2

The 1st iATKOS install finished successfully but resulted in a kernel panic. I determined that the most likely cause was the hard drive. I restarted the system and entered the BIOS. I modified the SATA HDD Settings from AHCI to Compatibility. Then I restarted the system and attempted a 2nd install.
The 2nd iATKOS install has finished successfully and did not result in kernel panic. I am in the process of determining what devices are functioning but now I have the ability to modify kexts so I am one step ahead.

I will post back once I have a better idea of how the devices are working.

Intel Core2 Duo T7500 2.20Ghz

For my first attempt I will use the iATKOS_L2 installer. Standard configuration with ACHI Sata drivers.

I will post back the results soon.

Welcome to the birth of Essential OSx86!

I have been testing the compatibility of various OSx86 flavors on the variety of different hardware I have and decided to post the results for posterity. Enjoy! As always comments are encouraged!
