I'm not surprised that a Dothan Pentium M CPU will not work in a laptop motherboard designed for a Northwood Mobile Celeron.

Asus made a Pentium M adapter for socket 478 a while back... BUT it only worked with specific motherboards AND you needed to have a BIOS flash to support it.

You might be able to upgrade to a Northwood based Pentium 4 M CPU.
