I had the same problem when trying to install the Kubuntu 8.10 x86-64 distribution.

The installer (image burned on a cd) opens the language dialog, after selecting the language the "[0.004000] Aperture beyond 4GB. Ignoring." appears on screen and the installation seems to hang. (I didn't try a text mode installation though).

The computer in question was the following...
- Processor Athlon 64 X2 4850E
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2
- Memory: 2x1GB DDR800 (running on 667MHz dual channel)
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB (SATA)
- Maxtor 80GB (PATA, IDE slave)
- Plextor DVD/CDR (PATA, IDE master)
- Graphics card: ATI X800XL (PCI-E)

One thing worth noting might be that the motherboard is supposed to have an integrated graphics chip, but that was disabled from BIOS and the PCI-E card was in use.
