+ It is believed that all or most T400 laptops are compatible.
+ See notes about <a href="../install/t400_external.html#cpu_compatibility">CPU compatibility</a>
+ for potential incompatibilities.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ There are two possible flash chip sizes for the T400: 4MiB (32Mbit) or 8MiB (64Mbit).
+ This can be identified by the type of flash chip below the palmrest: 4MiB is SOIC-8, 8MiB
+ is SOIC-16.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>The T400 laptops come with the ME (and sometimes AMT in addition) before flashing libreboot. Libreboot disables and removes it
+ by using a modified descriptor: see <a href="gm45_remove_me.html">gm45_remove_me.html</a></b> (contains notes, plus
+ instructions)
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Flashing instructions can be found at <a href="../install/index.html#flashrom">../install/index.html#flashrom</a>

+ <h3 id="hwvirt">Hardware virtualization (vt-x)</h3>
+ <p>
+ The T400, when run without CPU microcode updates in coreboot, currently kernel panics
+ if running QEMU with vt-x enabled on 2 cores for the guest. With a single core enabled
+ for the guest, the guest panics (but the host is fine). Working around this in QEMU
+ might be possible; if not, software virtualization should work fine (it's just slower).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ On GM45 hardware (with libreboot), make sure that the <i>kvm</i> and <i>kvm_intel</i> kernel modules
+ are not loaded, when using QEMU.
+ </p>

+ The following errata datasheet from Intel might help with investigation:

+ The coreboot wiki <a href="http://www.coreboot.org/Motherboard_Porting_Guide">shows</a>
+ how to collect various logs useful in porting to new
+ boards. Following are outputs from the T400:
+ </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ T400 with <b>Winbond W25X64</b> flash chip (8MiB, SOIC-16)
+ and Lenovo BIOS 2.02 (EC firmware 1.01):

+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Version of flashrom used for the external flashing/reading logs is the one that libreboot git revision c164960 uses.
