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?
