Sony Vaio laptop
I had asked for some advice last week about dealing with pre-installed Windows XP on a laptop I was considering purchasing. If anyone is curious, I had NO problems. The Vaio FX340 came with Windows XP on the C: drive (approximately 6.5 gig) and a virtually empty D: drive formatted NTFS. I just eliminated D: and formatted for my ext3 and swap partitions in the empty space. RH 7.2 installed flawlessy and on intial boot, X, sound, and everything else I've tried thus far just worked. I'm planning on adding an additional 256M or RAM (about US$60) to the 128 on board. That should have it running real comfortably ;o) Thanks for the responses I did get. they were helpful in making my decision.

RE: Sony Vaio laptop
Mike, et al, I've had pretty good luck with the two Sony Vaios I use here at work. They seem to run Linux pretty well, and have been reliable, too. However, anyone looking to purchase one should know about Sony's repair policy. You must ship the laptop to a location (they will give you the address, but not a phone number) in California where *all* US laptops with the Sony label on them are repaired. Period. End of sentence. No time or cost estimates are given. If you have anything valuable or classified on the hard drive, too bad. You better copy it or remove it. I managed to drop a phone (old style and heavy) onto my keyboard and break a keycap. The Sony party line was that I had to ship them the computer to replace a keycap. Government instructions for removal of classified data from a computer hard drive end with grinding the disk material to powder and burning the residue, so erasing the disk wasn't an option. Nor was doing without the computer for an unspecified amount of time while we were supposed to be using it for testing. Significant intervention from Micro Warehouse (where I bought it and many other things as a government credit card holder) got them to send me a new keyboard, but it took several months and something akin to an act of congress to convince Sony that this should be done. Now, I've had no other problems with either Vaio, and this one was of my own making. So they are pretty reliable. But be aware that repairs can be a problem.

There are several ways around this, the most basic is to do a pnpdump and generate an /etc/isapnp.conf file with values you would like (a gui replacement for this (Kpnp) exists on linux.nf to do this. However, with the 2.4 series of kernels isapnp is (or should be) part of the kernel and you are going to have to use the values it has determined for you, unless you specifically cripple that module by recompiling. Examine the dmesg output immediately after booting to 'discover' what values the kernel has set for you, for each of the above devices and use them. They are not going to be the values you think you'd like to use. I also have a 9GB drive attached to the internal (NCR/SymBios based) scsi channel, and would cheerfully attempt an install to this device if it is deemed 'easier', I will then use the RAID for storage. Not sure what you mean by 'easier'. If you simply want to use that drive as additional storage, then there's no problem (I am aware of) with the Symbios drivers is it an NCR53C801?
