SafeGuard Installation on Sony Vaio PCG-31111M

RBGE

Hi,

I'm having a few problems getting SafeGuard installed on a Sony Vaio PCG-31111M laptop - basically installation proceeds as normal, and after installing the safeguard kernel the POA screen appears then auto logs on as normal.  However, the machine freezes as soon as the Windows 7 startup animation has finished playing, and toggling the various options using the hotkeys hasn't made any difference (well, beneficial difference - I did manage to get the machine to blue screen when using shift-F9 to toggle ACPI/APIC :smileywink: ).  I was initially using version 5.50.1, although using 5.50.8 had exactly the same effect.

I'm suspecting the issue has something to do with the 4 SSD drives in a RAID-0 configuration, but I've not seen anything in the manual to suggest this isn't supported - unless I've missed something of course(???)

Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong here?  The laptop in question belongs to the CEO, so I'd like to return it in a working state :smileywink:

Cheers

    I hate Sony machines... too many random letters all over the place.  I guess the two machines in question are very similar, as the product name for this one is VPCZ11C5E (it was the model I quoted earlier) and it's also running Windows 7 x64.  I've installed safeguard on loads of Win7 x64 machines previously though, so I'm still guessing it's the RAID 0 SSD configuration that's causing the problem.

    Either way I'm having to repair and return the laptop now, and just hope that he doesn't lose it!  I'm guessing that since Windows starts loading, then the bootloader is working fine(???)


    Cheers
