I have the same problem trying to install UBUNTU 8.10
I ploughed through the 30 odd pages of posts trying some of the recommended settings which included BIOS changes, added various command line options to the installation commands - none of it worked.

i dont know what it is!
in the end the only solution that worked for me was to revert back to the 8.04
but im still waiting for an answer....
