well, the very inital font saying 'lenovo', right after the vibration.
downloaded once more, which eventually led to the bootloop (156mb).. installed on top of the no bloat ota2.5, installed full wipe, installed just witch dalvic and chace wipe. no clue what went wrong really
Ah ok that logo^^, that's normal, sorry thought you were talking about the bootanimation. Do you have an US device?
Thanks for the excellent ROM -- after a few hurdles that were all my fault, I managed to get it up and running.
First, I'd like to say: if anyone is unable to get this running because ClockworkMod Recovery reboots itself after 30 seconds (even if you're doing nothing, e.g. sitting at the main CWM menu), chances are you installed the "ROW" (Rest of World) CWM on a non-ROW tablet. This was the case for me. HOWEVER, don't fret if you already wiped out your system -- there's a workaround.
Plug a USB device with logic (e.g. not a "dumb" battery; something like a phone or flash drive) into the full-size USB "Host" port on your thinkpad. This, magically, will prevent CWM from rebooting after 30 seconds, allowing you to properly use it for backup/restore and for flashing CM9.
In fact, this is the only difference I could find between the ROW CWM that I accidentally flashed, and the US one. So if you always will have a USB device handy of some type, you can continue to use the ROW CWM and don't have to mess with it. Plug 'er in and it magically works!
However, I am having a problem. My attachable USB folio keyboard doesn't work at all. No keyboard, no mouse, no errors. Your OP has it down as "mostly", so does that mean it only works if you do some hack, or is it just my specific model not working? I'd expect that something like a USB keyboard would be handled by upstream Linux kernel USB device drivers... no?
For posterity's sake: my TPT is the 64GB variety, with no 3G/WAN, US Version, and I installed ICS after wiping data and Dalvik, on a system that had NEVER had an OTA applied to it -- straight stock from the factory, running a ROM ending in "_0065". I was running CWM version 5.5.0.4 and tested CM9 version 0.0.7.3.1.
Yup, that problem was happening every 5-10 minutes, and just worked for two hours without any problem with .00731. Also, just on another note, there's that ever occurring problem of loss of pen strokes after like 5-10 minutes after which I have to replace the battery or lock/unlock the tablet before it continues to work. Is this now a hardware problem as I've had it since day 1, through all the updates and also this ROM now.
pen wonk - pen is periodically not recognized by the system
Unfortunately, I experienced the pen wonk periodically in class today. I wonder if it's a hardware issue too or an Android issue, because I have also experienced it on every ROM including stock. I'll try to get a logcat while note taking tomorrow to see if we can get any information about the 'pen wonk' issue.

First of all, congrats on getting up and running and figuring out that CWR workaround. I also have US, Wi-Fi only US TPT. I can successfully connect my bluetooth keyboard and even enable it as a input device within the bluetooth settings. But the keyboard isn't listed anywhere in the Language & Input settings menu. I believe it should have a new subsection name Physical Keyboard Is the keyboard folio listed?

I was wondering if there was a way to disable the 3G/WAN in ICS if no such connection is possible? I have a Wi-Fi only model but still have empty cell bars in my status bar. Just curious

Ok, so it already worked on similar devices. Did the installation Finish? Like allquixotic stated there reboot problems in cwm. It shouldn't reboot on it's own in the installation process.

"Mostly" Means that the Folio is working except some special keys, because there is no function to map them to in ASOP/CM9. These still need to be implemented. The rest should work out of the box. The driver folio is in the kernel, thats correct, but android still needs some mapping files to get a keyboard working. This is not the case for the mouse, which always worked if i remember correctly. Could you post a dumpsys with connected Folio?

Hm, never happened to me and I took a lot of notes with the tpt, too. Please also try to get a dmesg, because if this is happening on all roms, it could also be a problem of the kernel driver.

Jepp there is a way. It's not really disabling the 3G, more like removing the icon. But let me check if there is a way to auto detect this, because i try to avoid multiple ROM versions and I'm still planing to get 3G working.
How do I get a logcat or a dmesg? While using some developer setting in Writepad Stylus (I think?) I noticed that the screen doesn't recognize the stylus at all at some points. It wasn't that the lines weren't registering, it was just that it was almost as though the pen was dead. But yeah, replacing battery or lock/unlocking tablet fixes it so >.> no idea what's going on there. If you fix that problem, I will love you forever, hahahaha
