Mikael,

I suspect there's another error being signaled which isn't being shown. Have you tried saving the results from DBCA as a script and executing the script manually? That might help you diagnose the true problem. I'd also make sure to check the %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms80\oradim80.log as you can get the ORA-12203 if the services don't get created. Last, but not least, make sure the sid has letters and numbers only, although usually you'll get an ORA-12650 "protocol adapter error" if you use an underscore or other unsupported characters in the sid.

HTH,
