I installed CentOS 4.4 on an old T30 I had lying around using a slightly modified kickstart file that I use to install on desktop systems. I had to manually fix the resolution for X, but everything appears to work fine out of the box otherwise. Except for two issues:
o After a period of inactivity (> 30 minutes), the laptop will go to sleep and I can not wake it up other than a hard reset/reboot. o If I pull the network cable, almost every command hangs (this is with a local account, although the system is configured for NIS); if I reconnect the network, the hanging commands complete (I've tried running strace, but that hangs as well).
I think the second issue also happens on my desktop systems, so it's not related to the laptop itself, but it is more likely that a laptop be used off the network.
Any suggestions?
