The BIOS doesnt have many options (Sony Bios), had a look for Legacy USB and there isnt anything there to select. This is the thing that is so confusing, the launch kernel didnt work for me but I didnt check why, it just froze at the same place, then i used 1715 and it worked! But then after that every kernel after has caused udev to freeze for some bizzar reason, it seems it hits the floppy initialization. Confusing!
