Well, that depends on which vaio he has - my Z505HS wouldn't work in polling mode. But yes, the generic kernel needs a lot of tweaks to be happy on a laptop. device pcic0 at isa? irq 10 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000 is the only working one for my Z505HS. My 505TR needed different iomem and memory settings in pccard.conf. I'd also suggest commenting out eveything you don't need to make the kernel smaller and produce fewer conflicts, taking the unit numbers off all the drivers for pcmcia cards you want to use (like 'device ed' above) and; device apm0 at nexus? device pcm > Also, verify that the io and irq values in pccard.conf are reasonable for > your machine. On my laptop only irq 9 and 11 are available; io 0x110-0x160 I use 10 for the pcic, have turned off parallel, IR and such and have; irq 5 7 15 > machine.

Telling us what model of vaio would also help - there is probably someone else here with one working fine.
