Bug Description

A few minutes ago I finished an upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 and when it was all over it went directly to the Grub Prompt. It may be important to let you know that 10.04 is a Wubi installation, but I am not sure. If you need any other information please let me know. In the mean time I am going to petition to the Ubuntu Forums for help. Thanks =)

I've uploaded a fix for this for post-beta, which parallels a similar fix made in Wubi itself for initial installations. It may be possible to give you instructions for trying this out in a couple of days once it's landed in the archive. I have difficulty doing this kind of upgrade test myself, unfortunately ...

  * wubildr.cfg needs to be run using GRUB's normal parser rather than its
    rescue parser. Rather than embedding it directly as a configuration
    file, embed it as a memdisk and add wubildr-bootstrap.cfg which invokes
    it using normal mode (LP: #617715).
