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?
