Hi,

I might have an answer.

A friend of mine had this problem too. I advised him to download Release
8.04 and run the live CD first. If all ok, then install. If the system
is running the system will aromatically offer you to update the
distribution. He did all that and his system is running fine.

So, the advice I can give you takes some time but might be the
solution. 

Download release 8.04. 
Run the live CD.
Everything Ok? Then install from the Live CD.

Let us know if that did the job.

Rob
