I'm a newbie and I'm trying to install Linux on an old ThinkPad 700C.
I get an 'NMI generated from unknown source' while booting
wiht the rescue diskette.
There is also a 'Whaa. Error occurred' up above this last error.
A little perusal of the source indicates that the first error is in
a file 'ps2esdi.c' which is, I think, code related to the hard drive
on this machine.
In any case, it ain't working. Anybody got any ideas?

1. (help) Microchannel architecture (IBM Thinkpad 700)
I bought it yesterday for a few and was quite happy.
Now I read here that it has an MCA architecture, that I won't ever run
linux on it etc. etc...
Well, I don't think I'll give up. I'm looking for a page previously at
http://www.undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca/~cpbeaure/mca-linux.html
NE1 knows where it is by now ? (seems that it has moved or disappeared
since may.)
2. Putting stubs around library routines (was: When will malloc...)
