I have no experience of VIA. I'm testing now in VirtualBox and directly in some reasonably new hardware.
Using a late Alpha 1+ daily build (a couple of days before Alpha 2), I installed Lubuntu Saucy into a USB pendrive, and that installed instance ran nicely with my Pentium M.
Can you test Saucy in a newer computer (maybe only the desktop live) to get a feeling of it? This could help you separate general bugs from problems because of the VIA hardware.
