I have also had this problem with a new Ubuntu 8.04 final ISO downloaded multiple times and burnt to several CD's finally installed OK using alternate install CD. At the recommendation of some people on Ubuntu forums tried all_generic_ide floppy=off irqpoll kernel parameter but still failed this was with ASrock and MSI motherboards.
