googled for the errors and found lot of results but no solution. The hooks option and passing kernel parameters (earlymodules=piix pci=nomsi all combination tried) did not help to resolve this issue.

I will try with ubuntu cd and post what it says. Is any one with same laptop got this error?

With Ubuntu 9.04 live CD, dmesg shows the same error.
