I would suspect pcmcia, or power management

Try boot options nopcmcia=yes, nomce acpi=no idebus=66

at boot.  If that works, than eliminate from there

i had better luck with Slackware (8.0) or Knoppix on my ze4125 

Sorry about the delay on answering-- I've been off list recovering from a tonsilectomy.
