I have tried installing Kubuntu Breezy preview (daily build 20050902).  
I have also other systems, so when it came to installing GRUB I chose to install it into partition, not MBR.  
Then the following error appeared:  
"Error 6: Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2". 
 
When I tried to install into MBR, everything went fine. 
 
Kubuntu was installed in whole (including /boot) into one parition: /dev/hda8. 
Here is fstab from my other system (Suse): 
/dev/md3             /                    reiserfs   acl,user_xattr        1 1
