Notes
Work in progress - give me some days to finish this mess below 
I. Sound
Since hardware detection routines on Linux misinterpret the built-in soundchip, sound does not work out of the box, although the sound chip is perfectly supported in Linux.
So you need to tell the system manually to use the right sound driver.
* First, you need to make sure that the wrong sound driver is not being loaded from the hardware detection routine. Edit the driver blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add these lines:
# To fix the sound issue on the Thinkpad 600e
blacklist snd_cs46xx
* Second, tell the system which drivers to load instead by adding the following lines to /etc/rc.local:
modprobe ad1848
modprobe uart401
modprobe snd-cs4236
* Third, you need to tell the system that you want to use a specific driver for your sound card and some hardware details about the sound device. Add to your file /etc/modprobe.d/sound the following lines:
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236
options snd-cs4236 port=0x530 cport=0x538 isapnp=0 dma1=0 dma2=1 irq=5
Attention: You might have to find out the right hardware addresses, IRQ and DMA channel of your sound device. You can use the PS2.exe program in order to do so. --> PS2.exe, Link to guides here
II. PCMCIA
In order to get PCMCIA working, you need to add at least the following kernel parameter (in /boot/grub/menu.lst): pci=noacpi
Some people (depending on your BIOS settings) also need in addition: pnpbios=off acpi=off
Add that to the end of the line in which your kernel is being loaded, i.e.:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-20-amd64-generic root=/dev/sda7 ro quiet splash pci=noacpi' This line can typically be found close to the
