I forgot to include that fact that after running modprobe with dose 2 modules i still wasn't geting a wlanX and everything that was listed on iwconfig said there was no wireless firmware. Upon start up it said the wifi driver that I installed was "unstable" for my hardware and it gives up.

Sorry for getting into your conversation, but what I see in the dmesg log it says that the there are dma collision and I also see that the pata driver fallsback to PIO mode.
Code: [Select]
pata_acpi 0000:00:01.1: BMDMA: BAR4 is zero, falling back to PIOI will suggest you to take a look at the BIOS setting, to see if you could change this behaviur.
I have seen some BIOS that you could reset the PNP settings, for like old days when you have to set jumpers for IO Base,IRQ, and DMA Address.
And for old computers that not having a working battery, some times you have to get into bios settings, just enter the bios settings and then save & exit, that will save a correct values in the nvram. Because the nvram has corrupt values.
Also do you have any pci cards more than the build in?

Well its beginning to look like a lost cause.
Thanks for all your help Rich.
I am intrigued though how Plop manages to access the HDD and CD. Frustrating!
