you can download the coreboot Image i'm running on my T60p from 
http://stackframe.org/coreboot_t60p.rom, which should also run on your 
system.

Did you extract and add a VGA BIOS image? Note that you have to capture 
the vgabios during runtime from Linux, because
the Lenovo BIOS does some Table patching at boot to enable the LVDS 
(=TFT) Display port.

You might also extract the VGA BIOS image from my coreboot.rom file:

cbfstool coreboot_t60p.rom extract pci1003,71c4.rom vgabios.rom
