[Bug 644898] Re: required kernel toshiba support not enabled

[tygern8r]

Mine fails regardless of which kernel I use. I've gone all the way back
to 2.6.38.8 and up including the most current 3.8 and I think it doesn't
have anything to do with the kernel or Nikitas patch as other users have
posted their success with most of the kernels I tried. I think the
problem is the machine. My Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7809 has InsydeH2O
BIOS v1.9, the last update I can find for my model. This webpage
http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver specifies this failure error
and says that it is due to non-Toshiba BIOS. I am also unable to get
Omnibook patch to work either, which is supposed to work on Phoenix BIOS
on the Toshibas.


Reloading the module
FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/3.2.0-38-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device
dpkg: error processing toshiba-acpi-fix (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up libstdc++6-4.6-dev (4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 toshiba-acpi-fix
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

If someone has gotten this to work with the InsydeH2O BIOS I'd like to
hear from you. Otherwise I'm afraid I've done all the troubleshooting I
can do, and will either have to live with my fan running at full speed
once the initial threshold is crossed, or I'm going to have to put
Windows back on.
