Note: I have VMware'd my burn of the cd and it ran fine.. So the copy of ubuntu 8.0.4 is fine

Go to BIOS and try to set AGP aperture size to 512MB. You should be able then to login ubuntu with fglrx driver. I have Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB AGP made by HIS, and i had to do it also, but it is just workaround and i hope for some real solution soon.
Now i have problem with flickering OpenGL display :mad:
