You may try the System Rescue cd to install Gentoo.

It sounds like the fujitsu siemens laptops are prone to this problem; it occurs with many different kernels including 2.6.31

Some people reported that the messages could be stopped by cycling the wireless on/off switch, or booting with it turned off. Could you try that?

Reopen this bug if Wormo's suggestion doesn't work.
