> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 3577 (rev 04) 
>(prog-if 00 [VGA])
>       Subsystem: Sony Corporation: Unknown device 8100

You may search the databases mentioned at
http://mobilix.org/pci_ids.html for more information about the 
VGA device. Also with XFree86 v4.x you may try XFree86 -configure 
and let X do the job for you. And there are many other websites
around describing Linux on SONY VAIO *505* series.

There you might find the CD rom trick, too. Since
http://www.linux-on-laptops.net seems not reachable today just use Google.
Probably you have to use the boot parameter
ide2=0x180,0x386
