I just want to tell you that I solved the problem. I recompiled the
kernel (2.4.18) with the APCI patch sourceforge.net/projects/acpi.
That way I got a workaround for the southbridge whatever, so the sound
card got the irq 5 as it was asking for, not the 10. I also solved the
problem of Fn key and the bug about rebooting. All this thank to Mr.
Gaugusch, see www.gaugusch.at/vaio/ if you ever get a vaio notebook.
