Hello people!
I bought a brand new notebook Toshiba Satellite A300 just today and of course, not being satisfied with Vista, I went on to installing Ubuntu, just like I did many times already.
Unfortunately, my hopes evaporated pretty fast. I insterted Ubuntu 8.04 CD, chose to boot the live session, but after a few seconds, the following message appeared:
udevd_event[1581]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit
Then it mentioned something about BusyBox, "ash" shell and initramfs. So I typed "poweroff<Enter>" and that was (so far) the end of the installation story.
My question: WTH is going on?? :confused: I never experienced such problem before. In fact, when I tried out Toshiba Satellite U400 (a very similar notebook) two days ago, everything went ok! Too bad I had to return that one, because the battery was faulty...
Alright, of course I used Google before posting this. All I found was to add the "all_generic_ide" boot option. As you can probably guess, it didn't help! ](*,)
That's why I'm asking you people to help me with issue in case you know anything more about it. I suppose it's some sort of a kernel bug caused by HW incompatibility, which is not quite my cup of tea...
THX for any advice.
