I have noticed that my X41t does run a bit warmer than my X41t with WinXP. Battery life seems a bit reduced as well. WinXP I can get 3 1/2+ hours on my reman extended battery, on the latest build of ICS I can get at most 3 hours on the same cells.

Maybe SpeedStep isn't engaging?

Less run time on battery may be due to higher temps causing the fan to run.
I'm trying now to get ubuntu to install and have it show up as a boot option in grub and am hitting a wall. Have my 40gb drive partitioned and formatted. The ICS install is on it's own partition and running as it should but the install of ubuntu is hidden from the grub boot menu although it is installed on the drive on a separate partition. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Keith

I have 2 x41Ts here. One is dual-boot with xp tablet and android. The other is ubuntu-11.10 and android.
Everything shows up in Grub.

I used Parted Magic to make the partitions and formatted them in NTSF. ubuntu works with NTSF now. I made the partitions active.

I made two flash drives, one with unetbootin and android and one with unetbootin and Ubuntu.

I booted from them and chose to install to hard disc and chose dev-2 for the partitions and it asked if I wanted to format the partitions. I already did but I let it format it anyway in NTSF. Both installed. At the end, it asked if I wanted to install grub, I said yes and then right after, it said it saw the other installations of xp on the one and ubuntu on the other and asked if I wanted to add a boot entry for both. I said yes and it did. Everything works.

Dave, did you find any particular order for loading the OS's onto the drive. I will wipe re-format and try a re-install of both .
Keith

XP was already on the one when I put android on and on the other I loaded Ubuntu first and then android.

I didn't have any problems.

As far as heat and battery life.

Go into settings, developer options, check CPU usage and it will put a little graph at the top right of the display.

It looks to me like it never clocks under 1.01. When I play drag racing on it, it clocks to 1.42.

IR thermometer at the exhaust shows 5 degrees C. hotter at idle than xp at idle. I haven't checked battery life yet.

On the one with Ubuntu, Android runs about 3 degrees hotter at idle.

Edit: I think I'm misinterpreting those numbers on the screen. I just saw it jump to 2.26. Anybody know what those numbers represent?

I have a thinkpad X41 2525CH1, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 915, 2G RAM, internal 256M ram is set for graphics by bios.
60G HDD, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, no blueteeth.

I installed grub on usb stick, then unzip thinkpad_universal_4.0.3 to usb stick.
First time, I run android without installation to HDD, it works very well, wifi works.

Second time, I installed android to HDD on /dev/sda7, made a fake sdcard, install grub on hdd, then reboot.
It can boot linux kernel, splash android image. But blank screen finally, it can't start android setup screen.
Reboot again, the same result with android.

How could I find where it goes wrong ?

That is called the "CPU load average". Essentially the sum of the processes running on the system in a given interval (usually 5/10/15 minutes). Since our systems have single core CPUs, anything over 1.00 will mean the system performance will degrade.

Did you try reinstalling, perhaps on a lower numbered drive partition (dev/sda1 or sda2)?

I can try to install on sda1, but xp on sda1,
Thank you !

Just now, I reinstalled android (thinkpad_universal_4.0.3-20120307.iso) to /dev/sda1.
Seeing the same problem as before.

After booting android's linux kernel, it show me the black screen,
not the android splash image and the android setup page.

My computer is thinkpad x41 2525ch1

At this point I'd have to say to contact the group...

http302,

That explains it, thanks.

The new release is pretty fantastic, Just about everything works now! Except for some things crashing. Will I ever be able to use my SD-Card as an SD-Card from ICS? It didn't seem to quite work.

I generally run my CPU at an undervolted voltage to save battery life and produce less heat. Is there a way to get this to have the CPU run at this voltage? Ive tested it extensively on windows, But I dont see a clear way to change it from android. Thats the only reason why im not using it as a secondary OS now.

Where are the latest links to this download? I have the Feb 25 version but can't get the Mar 7 to download .. Thanks.

Download the torrent file. You'll need Utorrent. It works, I just downloaded it again to see.

I'm using the 304 build in the second post. I haven't tried the 307 build. The 304 seems to work okay on the X41t.
