Problem installing RH8 on laptop

(1/2) > >>

Siplus:
i just reformatted/fdisked my new laptop (toshiba) and installed win2k. i left about 5gb for linux (of a 20gb hd), but when i start the linux setup, it seems to lock up when trying to initiallizing pc cards...i don't have any pc cards for my laptop yet, so i don't know what it is trying to initialize...

voidmain:
Can you be much more specific on the model/hardware in your laptop?

Siplus:
ok, 1115-S123:
http://www.geocities.com/siplus01/files/Toshibapage.htm

edit: i could not find the page for the model number, but the S103 has the same hardware

is that enough?

Well, that page doesn't really say squat about the hardware that is in it. And Red Hat didn't have a listing in their hardware compatibility for a single Toshiba laptop. http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/toshiba.html had no listing for either the S123 or S103.

However, google gave me this for like the first or second hit:

http://home.gagme.com/greg/linux/toshiba1115.php

If that doesn't work, also add "nousb" at the boot prompt..

which I suspect will get you going. And <snip> is another message that should work if this first one doesn't help.

Not to be rude (this isn't even my thread), but could you edit that post?
