More information, please.  

Which version (Warty or Hoary)?  And you're running the install, rather than the LiveCD, right?

Wierd... initrd.gz is part of the boot image, it should be on the CD. Did you check the md5sum of the .iso before you burnt it? There should be no reason why it's not found.

It's supposed to, yes. Run ifconfig and type out your output.

well once you solve your install problem (sounds like corrupted media to me) head on over to http://www.ubuntuforums.org and http://www.ubuntuguide.org
