As I said before, take a CF card/adapter combination you know fails
on a T60p/T61p and test it on a Linux box that isn't one of those types
(and preferably not a Lenovo at all)

> the adapter and card sometimes work when they are in when the system boots?

Ask the BIOS authors. Trying to fathom what they have done is frequently
interesting. Everyone else I've had do this has found the card works
perfectly with Linux except in the Lenovo box.
