I bought a Toshiba Satellite A40 a couple of weeks ago and it installs perfectly with current Debian Installer versions. Kernel 2.6.5 seems to me to support the hardware better then 2.4.26, so I decided on installing with 'linux26'. All hardware is recognized correctly; powermanagement works great (screen intensity & blanking, battery management and kernel throttling; no suspend yet); and PCMCI and USB seem to be installed correctly (USB 'tested' with joystick; otherwise not tested yet as I don't have any devices). I'll write up an installation report one of these day's... My hardware specs are at http://home.tiscali.nl/isildur/toshiba/lspci.html. Note that I use some other drivers than listed for discover as they are 2.4.26 modules and the 2.6.5 ones are often different. Hope this helps (a bit).
