It's very difficult to diagnose such early boot issues.
Since nv17 is already based on newboot (grub boot) with the new ACPI
interpreter, it seems less likely there are issues with those.
What medium (CD/DVD/net) are you booting from?
If you try booting with the "-v" option, this may give more clue
of what is going on:
hit 'e' when presented with the grub menu to edit the menu item
then select the multiboot line and hit 'e' again to edit the line;
add -v at the end of the line; hit ESC and then 'b' to boot
I have a similar spec'ed VAIO (700MHz PIII, 440BX, 384MB of memory)
which works just fine.
If there's a BIOS option about "plug and play" devices you may want to
toggle that; and check any Cardbus related options also.
With the current miniroot size (160MB) your system has little memory
to play with, but I regularly install a 256MB system also.
