Hello, Rowan.
Have you tried booting from a 'live' CD - e.g. the Ubuntu 8.10 CD from a recent issue of Linux Format Magazine?
This will detect the hardware you have, and use the appropriate modules compiled for the 'generic' kernel. This is the simplest way of checking that the current release of Ubuntu supports your hardware. It's also a good thing to know how to boot from a 'live' CD if you have to 'rescue' a system that has crashed: Telling us what the 'live' CD boot detects would help to resolve the problems you've encountered and you might be helping other people to solve similar problems...
Bye,
Tony.
