After three passes memory seems OK

I tried to boot the Live CD of Feisty Fawn another time, with the boot option break=top, quiet and splash removed, without success. Hand copied the last lines were:

[...] Time: tsc clocksource has been installed
[...] Freeing unused kernel memory: 328k freed
Loading, please wait ...
[...] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input1
Spawning shell within the initramfs
BusyBox v1.1.3 .... etc
(initramfs) modprobe = piix
(initramfs) exit
.....
.....
.....

after this I get to exactly the same error as described in the previous post, after the line Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20

So far the Live CD of Feisty is quite useless on this computer....

The boot option break=top and the initramfs action modprobe = piix I retrieved from some other related bug report I found here :).

I am going to install with the alternate CD now, which, I think, uses initrd, anyway it uses the non graphical installer, which is quite OK with me.
