Have a new laptop and I'm having a hell of a time getting any Linux distro to work. So far I've tried:
Linux Mint 8
Ubuntu 10.04 (and the one immediately prior)
OpenSUSE
Sabayon
Crunchbang Linux (a favorite)
PCLinuxOS 2010
Fedora 12
MacPup/Puppy
The laptop is a Toshiba A505 with an i3 Intel Processor, GMA 4500HD graphics, and a RealTek wireless.
Ubuntu 10.04 comes closest, although it hangs and gives me a power management error message during boot. Only thing that doesn't work once it is booted is wireless, even with the appropriate RealTek drivers.
I tried upgrading to kernel 2.6.33 with no luck.
I am hoping the impending release of Linux Mint 9 will help.
Any suggestions on this?
