Do you have a link to any of those forums that list this problem? If so
it might be helpful for others to help you figure out your problem.

Be aware that your 7.04 version (Feisty Fawn) is quite out of date. Do
you mean 8.04 instead?

Also it will be helpful if you can tell us exactly the name of the iso
file that you used to burn the installation CD with. I am wondering if
you actually managed to install the 64bit version on a 32bit machine.
