For the SONY VAIOs and older kernels you had to choose
the boot option ide2=0x180,0x386, if this doesn't work
try another installation method (some examples are in the Debian
install docs and in my Linux-Mobile-Guide
http://mobilix.org/howtos.html)

There is a set of unofficial Debian install floppies for ReiserFS
somewhere,
see Google.
