From the boot prompt of Fedora (or any other redhat linux for that
matter) try putting in "linux text noprobe" and see how you go.

Hi Andres,
try doing a text based install rather than a gui install.
it's one of the options when you initially start it up. I think from
memory you can press F1 for more options??? (this could be wrong)
it's been a while but textonly may be an option. anyway have a look
around at the initial startup.

Hi all,
I am having problems installing Linux on my Toshiba Satellite A30. I
have tried a few distributions and all seem to have problems. At the
moment I am trying to install Fedore Core 2 and as soon as I get to
the first installation screen which asks if I want to test the media
I lose response from the keyboard and the touchpad. The keyboard does
work at bootup and I have tried specifing some kernel parameters but
havent had much luck. I have similar problems with Mandrake 10 when
it gets to the GUI I lose the touchpad. Does anyone have any ideas?
I will consider anything,
Andres
