I also am experiencing the same problem with my Toshiba A305 S6825 laptop. When the on-board LAN is enabled, the system fails to launch into the desktop, but drops to the BusyBox (initramfs) command line prompt.
Once disabling the on-board NIC, I was able to boot up the LiveCD and install Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Due to no external network connectivity, I was able to install all the applications (via an APTonCD) that was created from my main desktop computer. Currently uname -a for my laptop is as follows: Linux ubuntu-mobile 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux I would be interested in testing the kernel patches, but I not sure how to go about it. Is there an info link available explaining the procedures to take to accomplish this. I pretty much have my laptop the way I want it; I just need a network connection now, and I currently do not have a wireless router, so I'm stuck with the wired NIC at the moment. I've also posted topics related to this issue at the Ubuntu forum - username keinea: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5000154&posted=1#post5000154 Any assistance with be greatly appreciated.
