Bisect done using 8.04.4 installation and kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
Only usable kernel found is from Hardy Heron 8.04.4 installation media: Ubuntu 2.6.24-26.64-generic
Although, during boot, some distorted graphics. And immediately after grub selection:
"PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFC area at e0000000 is not E820-reserved
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG

pciehp: Cannot get control of hotplug hardware for pci 0000:00:01.0

Later, another error message after grub (2.6.32-02063201-generic):
