It seems that it's missing the column sampleData on your table #__kunena_version, you can try with the next nightly when it will available on the bottom of this page : www.kunena.org/download
At your own risk, delete the table #__kunena_version and import it from a clean install of Kunena 6.0
- Update Joomla 3.9 to 4.0 - Goes well and newly updated site works well except for Kunena
- Install Kunena 6 beta 2
- Immediately front end is unreachable and backend displays error "missing column"
- Only way to recover is to install most recent Akeeba backup and start again.
- I can't remove existing Kunena because I will lose all my messages and history

FYI: i have tried Php 8.1.0 Beta2 with Joomla! 4.0 updated from github, i have couple of fatal errors for now coming for Joomla!, so Joomla! 4.0 is not usable with Php 8.1.0and there is some PHP RFC: Deprecations for PHP 8.1 to consider too wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_8_1
We have tested Kunena 5.2.6 on Joomla! 3.10 (it will released as stable in same time than J!4.0) we don't have issue with it
I had seen the release of Php 8.1 in beta but i'am waiting final release before to make tests with it, Joomla! 4.0 stick with Php 7.2.5 as minimal version it will depends on extensions to have requirements like Php 7.3.x or Php 7.4.x as minimal
