4.4-4.8, 5.0 on Sony Vaio Laptops

[Daniel Konnoff]

Hello:

I recently attempted to upgrade the company Sony Vaio
laptops to 4.8. 
After booting from a 4.8 install cd the system gets
through auto-discovery to the /dev/md (md0) device,
then hangs.  

I checked all of the distributions back to 4.3 (which
is installed), all have the same trouble.

Has anyone else seen a similar problem? 

Thanks,
Daniel
