Reveeen Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 According to the Linux guys your laptop has "problems" as to how ACPI was implemented. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Toshiba_Satellite_A70-RW A "normal" install on a ATI chipset unit goes like this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=74426 If you read through the topic you will see that I have one that won't go (an ASUS board with the same chipset) and a solution that may, or may not work for me (I'm on a plane outta here tomorrow, so I will get to it when I get back).
