I have similar problems and I'm using the same laptop. I've failed to install 9.04 and also to run it from cd. 8.10 works properly.
When I try to boot from CD it brings me thist message: * Loading hardware drivers udevd-event[2241]: /sbin/modprobe -b pci:0000125Dd00001978sv000010cFsd00001053bc04sc01i00' abnormal exit Segmentation fault Here's my complete hardware list: CPU INFORMATION GenuineIntel, Pentium III (Coppermine) Number of CPUs: 1 CPU clock currently at 598.398 MHz with 256 KB cache Numbering: family(6) model(8) stepping(3) Bogomips: 1196.79 Flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse up MEMORY INFORMATION Total memory: 502 MB Total swap: 839 MB STORAGE INFORMATION SCSI device - scsi0 Vendor: ATA Model: TOSHIBA MK2016GA SCSI device - scsi1 Vendor: SONY Model: DVD RW DW-Q58A HARDWARE INFORMATION MOTHERBOARD Host bridge Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (rev 03) Subsystem: Fujitsu Limited.
