Hi Lain,

I have the same model (with 4 x 64GB SSD). I applied a BIOS update.

As i don't mind the video card switch, I patched the BIOS as described here :
http://forum.notebookreview.com/sony/473226-insyde-hacking-new-vaio-z-advanced-menu-bios.html
Then I disabled the RAID feature from the BIOS and used the RAID configuration tool from the Ubuntu Advanced install ISO.
I installed Ubuntu (64 bits version) then update grub to add the i8042.nopnp option (mouse + keyboard issue) : the laptop now works like a charm.

I hope this helps, regards.
Jef

I'm reading on internet, that the linux installation, on this hw, is not easy (path kernel etc.)
Can I install this ubuntu testing version? (Linux kernel 2.6.35) Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Alpha 3
I would like install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but I'm terrified of problems during installation.
Another question. I don’t want install 64bit, but a 32bit with a big-kernel (8gb ram). Is it a problem?
What do u suggest me?
Many thanks to all.
Cheers,
Lain
