Comment 0 for bug 19749

Machine is a Canonical supplied Toshiba Portege S100 - S113TD. Intel Pentium M
Processor 740 [1.73Ghz, 2MB L2 cache, 533Mhz FSB]. Mobile Intel 915PM Express
Chipset. Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WiFi. 512MB PC4200 DDR2 RAM. 60GB, 5400RPM
Serial-ATA HDD.

Jeff Waugh pretty much told me that Hoary wouldn't run on this machine, so I
went straight to Breezy Colony 2. I'm able to boot the CD, choose my location
and language, and the installer stops because it's unable to detect a HDD. I've
tried passing all the various ACPI options during boot with no success. The
machine also supports Intel's software RAID, which I've tried disabling via
Toshiba's own sparse BIOS settings with no success.

I was able to mount a USB thumbdrive while in the installer and save some
diagnostic stuff and the logs in /var/log. They can be found at the URL I
provided. Additionally, ArminRonacher has added some notes to my Laptop Testing
Team page confirming what I've also found - that nobody has been able to install
Linux on this machine yet. That page can be found here:

I can get to a console while in the installer if there are additional
diagnostics that would be helpful. Just let me know.
