No joy trying to boot into Ubuntu 8.04 live cd on my new Toshiba Satellite A305-S6843 I get the same error issues as in this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...Satellite+A305

I tried disabling the LAN nic in the BIOS, made no difference.

I am open to suggestions-- even trying a different distro, anything to get linux with GUI on this laptop PC. I prefer Ubuntu, but if another distro would work so be it. I am also downloading Xubuntu, thought I would give that a shot.

Am I out of luck, should I just wait for the next release of Ubuntu in October 2008 and see if that kernel recognizes my laptop hardware?
