My next project will be to install Debian GNU/Linux on a Fujitsu Lifebook P2120. I have ordered this computer from the US today, because the local version of Fujitsu Siemens refuse to sell me this computer - those stupid people. I feel a bit sorry that it is so hard to get hold of the good stuff in Norway, but who cares when it is posible to buy it abroad! I have order the version with a Crusoe 933Mhz cpu, 40GB disk, 256MB ram, 10/100Mbps ethernet and WiFi included. I have to buy some more memory and a usb bluetooth adapter separately, but I guess I can find some reasonable alternatives for that in the webshops here in Norway. More info to come when the computer arrive! According to my fedex-tracker, the package is now "Released for delivery". I expect the computer to be here during the next few hours. I am to excited to do any real work today... It has just entered the building. This is the first picture, shot with my P800, really crappy, but... Installation of Debian GNU/Linux 13.02.2003: PartitionMagic to restructure the harddisk, because a crappy OS occupied the whole thing. I leave the other system there for now, to have a useable system on the computer. Maybe I change this later. Anyway, now I have about 34GB free for the real system 13.02.2003: Entered BIOS, changed the boot-order to boot from cd. Slipped in the Debian cd, and entered "bf24 ide0=ata66 ide1=ata66" as suggested elsewhere[1]. The base system installed just fine! Rebooter, forgot the append-line for lilo, boot from cd again, edit lilo, and reboot. Here we go. I can log in just fine, but still no network Or?... ifconfig eth0 show some info, the 8139TOO driver is maybe compiled into the kernel... Yes, it is! Started network, upgrad to sid, try to pop in a standard unstable debian. Grabbed a modeline for X, also from [1]. With this, X works just fine! Apm seem to be non-functional out of the box. This and WiFi will be the next thing to fix. Try to use the information on [1] 17.02.2003: This is not that simple. The 2120 model has new BIOS, without APM support - only ACPI. This mean that powermanagement is hard. I experiment with quite new linux-kernels (2.5.xx) and swsusp. I'll report on this later when I have something useable! Wifi is ok. I use the orinoco_pci module, which works fine! For sound, I use ALSA. In addition to the standard alsa-configuration in Debian, I added "alias snd-card-0 snd-ali5451" and mappings for /dev/{mixer,dsp,midi} to the alsa equivalents. After adjusting the mixer-levels, I have sound. 20.02.2003: Using a 2.4.21-pre4 kernel, patched with a acpi-patch [2], swsusp-patch [3] , together with the alim15x3 patch [4] and devfs-patch [5] mention on [1], I have a useable kernel for the P2120, with software-suspend working. The 2.4.21-pre4 patch is grabbed from www.kernel.org, it happened to be the newest prepatach available at the time I grabbed it. For more info on the acpi-patch, refer to [6], and for the swsusp patch, refer to [7].
