I have Windows, ecs, and Ubuntu on a T61 here (actually I pulled the 
hard drive and stuck in it a Z61M now).  I have all 3 on the Boot 
manager and then installed grub on its own 7Mb partition (smallest I 
could create).  I did this because I could not get Ubuntu to boot 
correctly from Grub when I tried to put it in the Ubuntu partition.  
Oddly, Debian did not have that problem when I had tried it.  I 
installed Ubuntu on JFS but I created the Grub partition as ext2.  I 
don't recall what was being seen by eCS initially but it was causing an 
internal processing error on boot (even from CD).  I believe I hid the 
Grub extension as I recall.
