This is probably what you have tried anyway, but I had a similar problem in the past:
I have had good luck doing an install from a 8.04 CD that is just ubuntu. Before doing any updates from the 'net', add the proper lines for EMC2 to the sources.list *http://linuxcnc.org/hardy/emc2-install.sh* can do this for you) It also does 'apt-get update', if you don't see it, do that run, enter it again. Then apt-get install emc2 Only after all that do a apt-get upgrade When the upgrade installs the updates which will eventuall include new kernel updates, go into the /boot/grub/menu.lst and make sure you boot the real time kernel that comes with EMC2 by default. ><> ...
