I have the 8.04 i386 desktop iso. I'm currently installing win on the box,
just to see if it's hardware. This same error has been reported in launchpad
(and apparently hasn't been dealt with yet, since I read a few instances of
this). I've the various workarounds (pcmcia=nomsi, ide=nodma, remove the
splash) but no joy there either. I'll check the md5 of the iso file on my
other ubu box and see what that brings, although i've burned three different
downloads from three different mirrors, and they all say they have defective
files on the cd - using different burners. It's beginning to make me wonder
about the iso being distributed.

The machine is a Dell Dimension 4500 with 1GB of RAM and a 80GB IDE drive.
At this point it's a stock machine that was running 7.10 until the drive
crashed.

I haven't tried any other iso's since at the moment I'm out of blanks... :)
