Failure to boot Mandriva One on an EDEE

I have been trying to get Mandriva One to boot on an EEE PC901.
I first tried a copy taken from a Linux Format cover disk on September 2008
issue LXFDVD109. That crashed part way through. I later downloaded a copy
from:
http://mandriva.dcc.fc.up.pt/official/iso/2008.1/

The version copied was:

mandriva-linux-one-2008-spring-KDE-int-cdrom-i586.iso

That too crashed. The screen text could not be saved but I copied a much as
I could and reproduce it below. Yet I was able to boot from it n my desktop
and even got Kaffiene to display TV pictures within a few seconds.

I then tried a copy from an earlier cover disc LXFDVD107 dated July 2008.
That did come up but could connect by neither wired nor wireless Ethernet!

I have since tried Fedora 9, Suse 11, Ubuntu 8.04 and Sabayon 3.5 Pod. All
came up but could not handle wired or wireless connections.

Linux Format claim that Mandriva One works straight out of the box, so I am
very disappointed. I shall be doing some heavy travelling in a few months
time and this seemed the ideal machine / os combination for the job. Here
is the last part of the boot up log:
