Hi Cristobal,

Since I know you use Debian, why not just use the Debian 2.6.12 stock 
kernels, just released into unstable? Note that if you are using udev, 
then you'll need to use the version of udev released into unstable.

Otherwise, of course, compile with kernel-package.

BTW, is there some reason to use 2.6.12 instead of the 2.6.8 released with 
sarge?

Also, are you aware that Debian has some Thinkpad specific drivers for 
Thinkpads? Try

apt-cache search thinkpad

Also, note that module-assistant is a nifty (and easy) way to compile 
modules.

BTW, you'd get more replies on a Debian-specific forum.
