I believe the cause of your error is that there is no device called hd3. It should probably be hd0 (your primary drive-- /dev/hda). I think this is the source of the error:
Nov 1 12:07:14 ubuntu grub-installer: Running "install --stage2= /boot/grub/ stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd3) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst "... failed
Nov 1 12:07:14 ubuntu grub-installer:
