I did choose "expert26" Everything was ok with the basic install. (kernel 2.6.3) pppoeconf, and ADSL is ok dselect to update - sarge updated but whan I quit dselect the system freezed (no keyboard ??) I had to power off and reboot the laptop to refain control Then dselect again to install X X not ok => no device pci 0:2:0 dpkg-reconfigure xserver (update with pci 0:2:0) and X is ok Now, instead of installing fvwm,... I chosen to install KDE (dummy package) And KDE was ok, usb was ok, the sound was ok. But I had now 3gb on my disk !! Because I was now convinced the sound should work I decided to install a new sarge but without kde and without netinst. So I used the iso images made with jigdo (cd1,cd2,cd3) As ususal /dev/cdrom is not ok (used hdc) install X - ok (but only after a dpkg-reconfigure) install fvwm,xfig,mozzila ok then install alsa-base,alsa-utils,alsa-mixer,alsaplayer,...cdcd And the sound is OK too !! Thanks again for you answer. carex.

I bought a Toshiba Satellite A40 a couple of weeks ago and it installs perfectly with current Debian Installer versions. Kernel 2.6.5 seems to me to support the hardware better then 2.4.26, so I decided on installing with 'linux26'. All hardware is recognized correctly; powermanagement works great (screen intensity & blanking, battery management and kernel throttling; no suspend yet); and PCMCI and USB seem to be installed correctly (USB 'tested' with joystick; otherwise not tested yet as I don't have any devices). I'll write up an installation report one of these day's... My hardware specs are at http://home.tiscali.nl/isildur/toshiba/lspci.html. Note that I use some other drivers than listed for discover as they are 2.4.26 modules and the 2.6.5 ones are often different. Hope this helps (a bit).

usb +pcmcia laptop toshiba
Hello, Very odd ! I posted a few times in linux.debian.laptop over sarge install on a toshiba sa30 and I never could find my post back with google !!! Question: - Does someone succeed to install - debian woody - or any other linux distrib (i am that desparated !) with the following requirements: - working usb2 - working pcmcia I have tried woody (2.4.18 & 2.4.26) but still no USB and no PCMCIA I have tried woody + backport kernel-2.6.5 and no USB no PCMCIA (+ a lot of problems !!) I tried sarge (option linux26) and I did get a working USB (no pcmcia) but I had a lot of problems with other packages. So sarge is unusable for me. I found 2 links about linux & toshiba a30: http://www.triptico.com/software/linux-ts-a30-303.html http://ecologia.unex.es/linux/laptops/toshiba_a30.html But it was of no help at all. Thanks. carex
