Sorry if people have already posted this solution... but...
I have a ASUS x83vm-x1 and tried to install Kubuntu 8.10 from a live CD. Would start the install and then give
[ 135.292409] SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0x9d7f3
[ 135.292411] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache block [275faa28]
[ 135.292413] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 275faa28, size 23a7
Thinking it was a defect CD, I ran the check disk and check memory utilities which both reported no problems.
I then tried the an OFFICIAL CD UBUNTU 8.04 I recieved in the mail. It also reported the same errors.
I went into BIOS and changed the IDE settings to COMPATIBILITY MODE. Viola! It worked. Hope this helps someone else out.
