Hi Philip,
Did you mean 7.10 (Gutsy) or 8.10 (Intrepid)? Things have moved on a long way since Gutsy and Intrepid wasn't one of Ubuntu's high points IMHO.
I would download 9.04 (Jaunty) which IMO is a lot better than 8.10 before writing off the hardware as non-friendly. If you don't have any joy I would try adding one of more of "noapic", "nolapic" and "noacpi" to the boot options and see if those help.
