I tried installing both Xubuntu and Kubuntu 7.04 and ran into similar issues. When choosing either to resize the partitions or installing to the entire disk, the installer started then opened the "media" file browser along with a message box that said there was a problem reading the hda1 ext3 partition which needed to be corrected. Clicking "Continue" aborted the install, and clicking "Go Back" dropped me back to the keyboard setup. Continuing from there simply repeated the problem. I got the installation to proceed successfully (I'm using Xubuntu now) after choosing "Manual" partitioning, deleting all existing partitions, re-partitioning and formatting to 1Gb for "swap", 5Gb ext3 for "/", and the rest to ext3 "/home", but I don't know how that will work with multiple boot systems. This same computer installed Ubuntu 6.10 without any problems.
I hope this info proves helpful.
