In this case, the sonypi mode will enable the ACPI mode which seems to do the trick for you. Getting the latest BIOS update from Sony (could be labeled as a windows XP bios update or something like this) and the latest ACPI patch from http://acpi.sourceforge.net will almost certainly help, as other people pointed out. Once you make your laptop work correctly from a kernel / bios point of view, you might want to contact me in private to see if we can get the sonypi driver to work for you.
