I have a similar problem with a Uniwill N251C1 Notebook. The System simply Freezes after some time while reading data from a DVD/CD. I tried to install several Linux Distributions. Ubuntu 8.10, Fedora 10 (preview) and Fedora 9 all freezes during the Installation from CD/DVD. Ubuntu 7.04 installs and runs without problems. I Guess that this has something to du with the switch to libATA. Finally i installed Ubuntu 8.10 from the Network and try to avoid using the optical drive.
