Introduction and Current Status
Status 6-13-2006: Currently running 2.6.16-gentoo-r9. I've quit working on the HSF modem for the time being. The crappy Sony dw-d56a dvdrw drive fails approximately 80% of the time. Of course, the Sony DW-D56A is nothing more than a rebadged Lite-ON drive, so I have ordered another drive, the Lite-ON DW-Q60A, to replace it with. I also ordered two much faster 512MB sticks to replace the slow ones that came with the machine.
ALSA is broken unless I specify the "test" card layout. I really need to let those ALSA folks know so I don't have to fark with this one again.
I purchased a Sony Vaio VGN-A690 from Best Buy during January, 2006. I quickly returned home with my new brick only to be dismayed at an installation of XP Home booting. This had to change, quickly. This page is all about my adventures in shoe-horning Gentoo Linux onto this beast.
The VGN-A690 is not for anyone looking for a portable computer. A 'lap'top only in the super-sized American sense, it measures 14" by 11" and is over 2" thick. It also weighs almost 9 pounds. It does, however, make up for its bulk with many features I was not expecting on a notebook. The display runs at 1920x1200. A 100GB HDD, DL DVD+/-RW, built-in 802.11a/b/g, etc... make for a very versatile workstation. I'm not even going to get into the multimedia/TV/audio capabilties (probably because I don't have them working yet...)
Out of the box, the HDD has two partitions. Partition #1 is about 5.5GB and contains all of the Sony recovery software. Partition #2 houses the default XP Home installation and uses up the rest of the drive. Initial startups prompt the user to create the restore media in case the OS goes south. Creating the restore discs requires either 2 DVDs and 1 CD or 11CDs. I burned the two DVDs but the burner barfed in the middle of the boot CD and I ceased to care at this point.
Prep and Installing Gentoo
I used a bootable DVD of to start the computer and ran Partition Magic 8 to resize the original ~90GB NTFS partition. It worked flawlessly. I rebooted a few more times into XP Home and tested the OEM software. I seized the opportunity to visit Sony's eSupport page for the VGN-A690 and download the most recent versions of all the Windows drivers for this laptop. After placing them on a flash drive, I rebooted with my XP Pro install CD and went to work.
I deleted all partitions except for the 5.5GB restore partition and created a new 20GB NTFS partition to hold Windows. The install finished with the usual amount of complaints about missing drivers but booted without error. I used the flash drive and a few reboots to get the Windows drivers installed. There are quite a few of them but I did not encounter any problems otherwise.
Before jumping into the Gentoo install, I thought it appropriate to first attempt booting some other distro's LiveCDs or LiveDVDs to see what kind of issues I was going to be facing in a Gentoo install as well as getting a baseline idea of running performance. Let's see what happens...
[RUNNING TESTS NOW] SimplyMEPIS 3.42rc1 LiveCD verified that ALSA would actually work with the Realtek ALC260 Intel HDA sound card and made a beautiful noise.
I then rebooted with my Gentoo 2005.1-r1 (VERIFY THIS) install CD. (DESCRIBE INITIAL STARTUP DIFFICULTIES)
