Guys,
I got a Sony T-60 I picked up at Best Buy on Open Box. The little mother was rebooting constantly, so I picked up a working image from another t-60 and put it on the drive. The damn thing still reboots. It goes about two seconds into the "Amost there" screen and promply resets.
I dd'd the drive, then mfstools the restore. I mounted the partition under linux to make sure it took. Eveything looked good.
I even used edit_bootparams to add the noideturbo thingy just for kicks after I sure it wasn't working.
Are there any steps I might have skipped? Any stupid things involved like you have to have the cover on or something like that? Bad drive? Any input would be welcomed.
