Description Mario 2010-10-26 04:47:49 UTC 
Hi,

It's not possible to install Ubuntu 10.10 to the Toshiba L505D-SP6905R Notebook.

This is, where the Live CD get stuck (you don't even get to the menu)

I made ist with the alternate DVD to the menu, disabled ACPI by pressing F6, but then if you go for installation the screen keeps black.

Comment 3 Len Brown 2010-10-29 05:09:16 UTC 
Can you identify what kernel is being used here,
or reproduce the problem with kernel.org 2.6.36.stable or later?

do other distros or other versions of Linux boot on this machine?
Comment 4 Zhang Rui 2010-10-29 05:13:46 UTC 
can you please boot with boot option "acpi=copy_dsdt"?
Comment 5 Mario 2010-10-29 14:43:23 UTC 
I try to install debian but I could not, and the kernel is that it brings in Ubuntu 10.10, and let me try acpi = copy_dsdt hopefully works sorry for the English and thanks for answering about my problem

just a reminder, you should use "acpi=copy_dsdt", no space.
Comment 7 Len Brown 2010-11-30 03:42:16 UTC 
Has any version of Linux been able to boot on this box in the past?

Comment 9 Mario 2010-11-30 23:36:10 UTC 
acpi=copy_dsdt
Comment 10 Len Brown 2010-12-09 22:02:09 UTC 
Is there still a problem here?
Comment 11 Mario 2010-12-10 05:58:53 UTC 
fixed acpi=copy_dsdt thx
Comment 12 Len Brown 2011-07-30 06:53:05 UTC 
no cmdline should be necessary as of 2.6.37,
as we now invoke this param automatically for all toshiba satellite.
please re-open if cmdline is necessary on such a kernel.

    ACPI: invoke DSDT corruption workaround on all Toshiba Satellite
    
    Our list of Toshiba Satellite models that require this workaround
    is growing -- so invoke the workaround for the entire product line.
