Are you, by chance, running on a pentium4 installed in an IBM PeeCee? If this is the case, there is a known bug that I ran into installing 8i. The bug is in the universal installer -- it uses the Java VM.

Search on Metalink for kewords pentium, ibm, jvm, etc. You should be find the relevent bug note and patch/work around info. -- I'm sorry, I do not have the info with me at home.
