Hey Brian,
the mem stick + 2 usb ports my Z505LS work fine with 2.4.16+ (both usb ports have been tested, but the mem stick not [however, it shows up fine at boot time]).
You might also want to run 2.4.teen because of the new support for the Sony programmable controller (althought that seems to have gone into 2.4.5) (under char devices, i believe).
See: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=linux+sony+programmable+controller&hl=en&selm=linux.kernel.20010604153515.A31991%40ontario.alcove-fr&rnum=1
I think I told you about the GVaioControl app that I use for brightness at the big installfest over the summer, but this seems to actually enable the function keys.
