The official install images don't change after release.  There's an
organization that re-spins install images with updates included, but I
can't recall where they are.  You can search the archives of this list
to find them.

Does your BIOS offer a compatibility mode for the ATAPI/IDE controller?
If so, give that a try.  I had a similar problem with a ThinkPad T61 and
that solved the install problem.  Once I had completed updates, I
switched back to AHCI mode and it worked fine.
