I created this USB by 2 ways and VGN-385E's graphics chip is Intel 945GM. https://docs.sony.com/release/specs/VGNN385EW_mksp.pdf 945GM might have some problem. https://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting#Intel_GfxCards Newer Linux kernels automatically enable KMS, but it might not work on 945GM. Have you ever tried setting "nomodeset" to kernel parameters?
