I have had these same problems installing 9.0 with a C3 VIA Samuel processor.

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : CentaurHauls
cpu family      : 6
model           : 5
model name      : VIA Samuel
stepping        : 3
cpu MHz         : 666.233
cache size      : 128 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 1
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu de tsc msr mce cx8 mtrr pge mmx 3dnow
bogomips        : 1330.38

I managed to install 9.0 with one of the alternative boot images. But after that 
install 9.0 was unable to boot. I deleted /lib/i686, the system boots allright now.

Maybe you should take a look at the following thread:
