RE: woody on sony vaio Z600-TEK
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.
Cheers,
Rich Morin

Subject: woody on sony vaio Z600-TEK
Since last April I'm trying to get Debian to run on my laptop. 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
