ok, borrowed a camera, ran the install with "quiet" & "splash"... and it worked. It installed withour a hitch. I'm using 8.04 now to write this. I don't know if I can be of any other help regarding this, something was certainly a problem somewhere, if there is anything I can add then please let me know.
