You can try installing Ubuntu 7.10, then download from kernel.org a clean kernel, configure it using xconfig or menuconfig, (you can try google to get info about how to do it), compile it and finally create a deb package for your new kernel image and headers (obviously all this disabling the option SCSI Emulation) [You can google how to create your deb package from your kernel also]. Once you had finished with all this stuff you can upgrade (using apt and the internet or the alternate CD) Ubuntu. First yo 8.04 and finally to 8.10.
If you're interested you can customize the installation CD to add your kernel as a package, or as the default kernel to boot from. I hope it helps. PS. Configuring and compiling your own kernel is very easy, so don't be afraid to try.
