I Applied Power, Turned It On, And .....

Got a 301 keyboard error during boot. This problem was previously mentioned by another who did this project using a Thinkpad. He had documented that if you disable the Trackpoint mouse using the Thinkpad configuration program; then the laptop would boot successfully without the keyboard.


At least it powered up and tried to boot.

I attached an external keyboard and mouse, and restarted the laptop. It booted up fine and I went back into the Thinkpad configuration program to verify that the Trackpoint had been disabled -- It had!

So, more research to find out how to get around this problem.

More soon .........
