I resolved this by doing the following: #1) Boot with pci=noacpi and irqpoll #2) This will make your ethernet and USB drives work. You can then apt-get update and dist-upgrade to get the latest kernel. #3) Restart, upgrade your BIOS to 1.70. This gets around a measure that forces pci=noacpi for BIOS version 1.60 which actually appears to make things worse. #4) Restart, enjoy ethernet and USB.
I will post this on the Toshiba Tecra A4 page at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaTecraA4 -- [sky2] Marvell ethernet interface doesn' t work after reboot https://launchpad.net/bugs/39862 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
