Specs:
AMD Athlon 64bit dual core processor
Seagate 80gb hard drive (not SATA)
ASUS deluxe motherboard

My Problem:

Problems exist for both Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.0

I can install/update 7.0 Ubuntu/Kubuntu just fine. When I upgrade to 8.0, my problems occur. I can get through on both to the desktop, booting from the live CD. When I go to install from it everything goes fine until it restarts to finish the installation. I sit at the Ubuntu/Kubuntu loading screen for 5minutes until it takes me to busybox.

I do not have this problem with the older versions just the newer versions.

I have noticed that dev/hda/ is now dev/sda1.. I don't know if this causes it or not. Im not very tech savvy but I have a friend who can help me so any help is MUCH appreciated.
