SUSE Linux 10.1 on M50 - 216 Live

Hello

Sorry for the lousy title, I couldn't think how it better word.

Anyway, I'm trying to boot Suse Linux 10.1 Live on my laptop, it starts Suse very well at the beginning but after selecting Gnome or KDE, the boot stops, saying that it cannot find the DVD, it has been initialized from. Ubuntu 6.06 or Kubuntu 6.06 will start, the two failure 'root filesystem mounting.

I had an older version of Knoppix (3.7), hang out, so gave that a go and it starts correctly, is not a problem.

I downloaded the iso different sites official and md5 checking before burning and burning at the slowest speed.

Expert linux out there who can help me get Ubuntu or Suse Live to boot on my machine, or alternatively recommend a different Linux operating system that would work. Preference using Gnome.

The DVD player is a TEAC DV-W28EAT.

Thanks for your help.

Update

After a bit of reading on my laptop, and others like him, I gave the Live of Mandriva 2006 version a try, and it works fine and all my hardware id correctly.

Looks like I'll go with Mandriva instead of SuSE.

Hello

Thanks for the update information.
As you know Linux is not supported on Toshiba laptops and in this case you want to use Linux should experiment a little more.
I use Knoppix. It is a good solution because it starts from the live CD and it is not necessary to install anything.
However, thanks again for the information that Mandriva 2006 works correctly on your device.

  • Equium M50-216: cannot save or use the microphone or "phone entries

    I have an Equium M50-216, with 1 GB of RAM & Centrino 1.7 GHz processor, running XP Home.

    Without apparent reason, I am suddenly unable to use my SKYPE USB ' phone to talk. Audio output is perfect, however.

    I also tried my helmet using the jack on the front of the laptop, with the same result.

    I downloaded and installed the latest driver for the sound card, which is a Realtek AC97. I tried the test equipment of Windows, but there is no evidence of entry he built in sound recorder, audio, or in windows.
    The device driver is properly enabled and reported no problems.

    Is it a hardware problem - as it seems card works OK for output?
    Is it a Windows problem - I can achieve a reformatting the drive & re-install of XP soon - it would help?

    Hello

    As far as I understand your problem, you are not able to use the external microphone. Am I wrong?
    You mean that it's a hardware problem, hmmm I n t think so.
    To me, it looks like a wrong setting

    Please check if the microphone is activated. This should be verified in the--> sound & audio devices Control Panel.
    On the volume tab, press the Advanced button.

    In the options settings, you can switch between the playback volume controls & record.
    Please check everything!

  • Sound with Satellite M50-216 problems

    Hello
    The sound went out on my M50-216. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the audio driver, but it did not help.
    Any ideas as to what I should try next?

    Hi mate,

    I would recommend you to recover the machine completely (backup of your important data first) and then it should work again. But before doing so, please check if the combination of keys "FN - ESC" brings back the sound...

  • Re: Equium M50-216 - lines across the screen

    Hi my Equium M50-216 has lines across the screen and low who go up and down the screen.
    There is no picture it s just white.

    If I plug it into an external monitor I get a fine display on the monitor is so the screen is defective or something else?
    I think that the inverter is ok because it of bright and not dull.

    See you soon

    I agree with Luke.

    If the image on the external monitor is ok then the graphics card should be ok.
    If an FL inverter would be defective then everything would be visible, but just a little more dark and as behind a fog

    In your case, it looks like a display problem

    I think you should ask a technician for replacement laptop

  • Problems with Qosmio G20 and SuSE Linux 10.3 installation

    Hello

    I can't install SuSE Linux 10.3, because the hard drive will not be detected.
    I think it's the Software Raid... in the BIOS are only the options of Raid 0 and JBOD. When I changed to JBOD, it says I need to install the new os.
    Windows XP Professional is installed on the computer and I want to have a system to dual-boot with Open SuSE 10.3.
    How can I solve the problem?

    MfG

    Man... that's a really complicated problem.

    First of all, please consult this site unofficial toshiba official: http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/eng/pc/QosG20_report.htm

    West a complete report on your machine where all material etc. are described. The two entries on the bottom of the site describe the problem that you have.

    Another good friend called 'google' redirected me [THIS | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574116] site.

    You see, it s a problem since your RAID controller is not correctly recognized by some kernels/distributions.
    I have no perfect solution for you, but I propose to try another distro (since there are hundreds of them) who could probably work with your machine.

    The best would be to visit www.google.com and type something like "Qosmio G20 linux raid". Trust me, you will get many results. :)

    Keep rocking with linux ;)

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Equium M50-216

    Hello

    I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive in my M50-216, which currently has a MK4026GAX. The player that I am most interested is the MK8032GAX. Is this a suitable replacement, that is going to work?

    A few questions:

    1. I guess it's just a case of withdrawal of the current drive, mortising the new one and start using my Toshiba restore CD? This will reinstall the Norton junk as well?

    2. assuming I have remove the current without shape, i.e. I leave it as it is, I suppose that if I find the new drive does not work I'll be able to put the former back in and it will start like nothing happened? I'm not changing any other material.

    3. it will work as a trolley suitable for the old disk: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=414030

    4. the most important question will be affecting my current standard warranty, or assign an extension of warranty if I choose to buy a more this year?

    Thank you
