This isn't fixed. I have the same error as described in original post, except CPU AthlonXP.

The i386 9.04 LiveCD was downloaded and burned last night. Memtest OK, disk integrity OK, checksum OK.

Tried to get valgrind log for you, but lacking Nautilus, I got stuck for how to locate & attach. Tried to install Dolphin, but installation failed due to crashes.

FWIW, the 8.04 LiveCD works fine.
