Following the suggestion of Jong 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195&page=7 I was able to boot from 
ubuntu 8.04 HH live CD desktop. After selecting language, install, F6 I entered:
all_generic_ide floppy=off irqpoll
The image booted from cd-rom and the installation proceeded without problem. I 
am hopeful others will have the same success."

Azurehi, you have saved me. Been struggling to get a linux live cd to
work on a new Dell pc all night. Desperately trying to repartition a
hard drive with Vista on it. May finally get there!

No idea what the code meant (well, rough guess) but it worked!

Cheers

Jon,.
