ubuntu 8.04 in my vaio

A couple of days ago I dedided to give ubuntu a try by installing it in my sony vaio vgn-t27gp laptop. A couple of months ago I installed extra ram to this machine and eventhough it is only 60GB hard disk, I created from my windows XP partition, with Acronis (a great tool to manage partitions in windows) a third nfts partitions (active) where I planned to install ubuntu.

I inserted the  CD and I choose to manage the disk partitions manually, because the default options were not good enaugh (one to install ubuntu and you kick windows out, and the other one to installed in all free space available). I wanted to install it in 10Gb. 

I selected the new 10 Gb partition I created in windows, erase it and created a 512Mb swap in the free space and in the rest a ext3 partition with booting point at /

Everything went perfectly fine.

Then... no sound, no hibernation... and battery last less than half of what it lasts with windows xp... dammed... 

I will write about the workaround as soon as I have some free time.
