It's been more than ten days since your original post with little, if
any, achievement. I agree that scrapping all these past installs may
be a very good idea. 9.10 Karmic is very stable. 10.04 Lucid, although
just released, is running fine. If I were you, I'd perform a careful
backup of your valuable data, then I'd clean up you HD and begin from
the very beginning, with plain vanilla root, home and swap partitions,
and a fresh install. This way you could save your efforts for Grub2
and ext4. Considering the cost-benefit ratio, it is an unbeatable
deal.
