Hello,
I missed this part of the forums, thus I have been posting this in the "Legacy Harware" section:
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=100445
Long story short: put Debian squeeze on the good ole 770, can't get either APM or ACPI to work. Anyone out there who has gotten this to work?Perhaps someone has a model 600 out there with a working Debian installation, I hear they have quite similar specs.

Anyone got a .config for a 6.2* Debian kernel for a 770?

Re: Anyone got a .config for a 6.2* Debian kernel for a 770?
so, as DSL-N (darn-Not) works in the last version they made, I take it that this .config would do:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/darn/dsl-n/current/
I am trying to build .debs from it now, will report back when I have something more.

I got it fixed! The culprit was Grub2 - it's always the last place you look
Turns out that Grub2 by default is 32-bit, so you have to add "16" to the initrd and linux lines to that they become:
linux16 bla bla
initrd bla bla (or perphaps I should say "foo"?)
Then APM works, althouth some tampering with the usual boot flags might be needed. But it *works*!
