Do you still have the 8.10 CD that you initially used previously (per:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/80157)? Can you try that?
Also, you might give the Alternative CD a try instead of the liveCD
(8.04, 8.10, or 9.04). I'm not sure from your reply in the questions
that you tried the Alternate CD or not.
Note: I generally only use the Alternate CD as I've found the liveCD's
tend to have issues on some (particularly older) systems.

I see you've tried noapic, etc, etc. So not sure what else to suggest at
this point. Can you try a knoppix CD and see if that boots for you
without issue? See:
