The machine we're talking about is the http://explore.toshiba.com/laptops/satellite/A300/A305-S6837
Graphics is the Intel 965
WiFi is the Intel 4965
Ethernet is the Realtek RTL8102
Audio should be the Intel HDA, but the user reports it's a Realtek??
IDE/SATA I don't know, and it's in my opinion the most suspicious component
The boot process of the 8.04 live cd exits with a "modprobe abnormal exit", which is usually associated with missing modules in the initramfs.
Just adding a summary:
