I tried text mode too, same issue. The video is Radeon 9600. I have a suspicion that the hard drive is having issues, but at this point, we haven't even tried to access it yet...
Have you tried disabling the ACPI ? at the boot prompt just type : linux acpi=off or try some of the switch you can find on sites like http://www.tuxmobile.org when they talk about models with your chipset/CPU.
BTW I've successfully installed the latest CentOS on a 1st generation Centrino laptop with no issue at all ...
