[kai920]

Anyone tried these yet? Was surfing at IBM's site and noticed updates on Nov 29, which is quite fresh! Note the machine type numbers in brackets.

BIOS Update (Non-Diskette) - ThinkPad T43/p (2668, 2669, 2678, 2679, 2686, 2687)
Version 1YET59WW (1.24)
Note: This BIOS version will only work with Embedded Controller Program Version 1.03 (or higher).

* (New) A new BIOS setup option, that allows system startup without pressing an ESC key on POST 2010 warning message. Its location is 'BIOS Setup menu'->'Startup'->'Boot after message for Hard drive...'.
Note: The cause of the 2010 message is using unsupported hard drive firmware version. Please use supported version as much as you can.
* (Fix) The CardBus Controller register setting was fixed.
* (Fix) System may hang up when boot device is changed in BIOS setup.
* (Fix) System may enter into standby in battery mode after Windows logon.
