noooooooooo!!! another one lost to Gnome! I really hope you meant
Kubuntu, since KDE is really much nicer than Gnome for people who need
to get something done (working with Gnome is like having your neck
amputated!)
So it was hardware problems... curious. Really, installation is one
of, if the the, hardest part to debug because of the fact that it can
be really anything. For the most part, I think installers, while
loads better than nothing, do need to expand their driver database
(while installing Debian on my laptop, if I closed the lid the whole
thing totally froze!)
