The solution was for me was to borrow a cheap : SMC 16-bit PCMCIA card which was recognized under 4.3. This allowed me to : CVSUP to 4-STABLE and the machine boots okay now. Another thing to try is typing the following at the "ok" prompt: set hw.pcic.intr_path="1" set hw.pcic.irq="0" I haven't seen a vaio that will boot and install from cdrom w/out specifying ISA routing. Maybe this should go into some sort of mobile.faq? --Jerry Open-Source software isn't a matter of life or death... ...It's much more important than that!
