I take it that means your resolv.conf looks something like this:

search belkin
nameserver 192.168.1.1

The IP address of your nameserver is probably different, I'm just using 
192.168.1.1 because it's a commonly used non-global IP address used by 
some broadband routers as their internal host address.

Ouch. Houston, we have a problem :p

Yes, which means that it's probably trying to boot a Mandrake kernel, 
too.  Please also post your menu.lst (or grub.conf, I don't recall 
which name Mandrake uses) to the list as well.  Something sounds 
misconfigured there. You can find that file in /boot/grub.  The correct 
settings depend on how your disk(s) is/are partitioned and where you 
installed Kubuntu, so please also post your /etc/fstab to the list so 
we can sort it all out.

Since when? My experience with (K)Ubuntu installers is that they detect 
and automatically install into menu.lst all other OSes on the system 
(or at least, other Linux distros and Windows XP).  Snippet from the 
Kubuntu install on my workstation (note that these settings probably 
won't work for you, since your disk is almost certainly partitioned 
differently than mine):
