Vaio PCG-FX220 here, and I could get Debian installed from floppy, but it never made it through a reboot....kernel panics. As well, during network install, it would hang with eepro100 errors. Gave up after a week of different attempts..with same result.
Hate to admit it, but I got Redhat 7.2 to run on this laptop no problem. Recognized the PCMCIA, USB, and installed a working system in 20 minutes or so from the .iso images on a FAT32 partition. I still using Deb on my desktops though!! Not that this message helps any, just thought I'd share my frustration with a Vaio.

Noone was able to help me so far... I tried it with woody or potato, same thing! I'm using the loadlin from install.bat to load the bootdisks. I need to do a network installation. After selecting and loading the correct module for my built-in network card (eepro100), I'm trying to start to install the base system. That's where my machine get's stuck. As soon as it's trying to connect to dhcp, it's hanging up. Not even the other console-windows work (Alt-F2...) Other people didn't run into that problem with the same machine and I got a friend who's running woody on a Z600NE. It definately neet to get this going, but I'm almost giving up thanks for your help philip -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
