I got a good deal on a toshiba 2435 so I didn't get too picky. Boy, what an experience getting it installed.
This may already be a well known issue, and then maybe not so I figured better safe to say something. The install kernel "alt1" was able to complete an install and zap the preinstalled MS Windows XP Home. None of the other kernels would work, nor would the machine boot after the install completed. I had to make a custom bood CD and go in and rebuild a kernel, then rerun lilo. BUT THAT IS ALL I'VE HAD TO DO. Everything else works perfect. I thought it was acpi or apic, now I'm thinking it is something about PCMCIA. Not sure yet. Let me know if you would like more info while my machine is still only kernel-custom mdk 9.1. I intent to find the exact kernel options at fault. THX -AEF
