install Fedora 9 on Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825

[bruce]

ok...

so you're saying that something is going on regarding the lan, and that when
you attempt to fire up the lan, you're not getting the fc9 to bring up the
text login/gui?

is this with a straight wire lan, or wireless connection? are you using any
other networking function like networkmanager, or just the traditional
system-network-config?

It is not just a black screen I will copy the screen and e-mail it to you
The DVD is valid. When I disable the built in LAN, fedora works just fine
but without network (internet). So the problem is with built in LAN

ok...

how much mem/size of the drive?

and you say, when you turn the laptop on, all you get is a black screen?

you never see any kind of fc9 screen/information at all??

and you're sure the dvd is valid? did it give you any errs when you were
installing? did it require you to reboot towards the end of the install
process?

Hello,

Did you just take the default options throughout? Yes
Do you only have fc9 on the drive? What do you mean? I have the DVD
Did you format the drive, prior to installing? Yes

hi sam....

exactly what did you do? when you installed fc9, did you just take the
default options throughout? do you only have fc9 on the drive?

did you format the drive, prior to installing?

be patient, we'll get you up/running..

I have installed Fedora 9 on Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825 by doing the below
steps:
1.      Disabled built in LAN in the setup.
2.      Installed Fedora 9 on Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825.
3.      Went back and enable the built in LAN in the setup to get the
ethernet card to works.
The problem when I start the computer I get the black screen and Fedora
doesn?t load.  And if I disable the built in LAN I don?t get network device
in my machine.
Can someone help me please?
