ubuntu fails to boot after install.

Update-grub needs a script to modify grub.cfg for loop installations.
I will patch lupin to do that

As a temporary work round at the grub line hit e and change to the following

set quiet=1
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd0,3)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set f6863c88863c4b7f
linux /ubuntu/disks/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-9-generic root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro \
quiet splash
initrd /ubuntu/disks/boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-9-generic

then hit ctrl-x

This will then boot.

*DON'T CHANGE YOUR UUID NUMBER TOO MINE LEAVE IT BE*
*change root=/dev/sda1 to whatever your disc should be*

to change this permanently please edit your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file to the above

Well /boot/grub/grub.cfg will be overwritten once you run update-grub, the lupin patch will add a grub.d script to set things for good. I am waiting to sort out grub2 loopmount capabilities before submitting the patch, since grub.cfg depends on it.

Hello,

My bugs are allways invalid or duplicate, so I add comment to this bug:

I did changes to grub.cnf by windows ( e button didn't work). I still have the next errors when selecting kubuntu in boot menu

Syntax error
Incorrect command
syntax error
Could not find bootloader configuration

I attach my grub.cnf to this:

So what is right way to edit grub.cnf if e button doesn't work in grub:sh> command line?

Thank you very much. I create new bug if you want

It would be very good to have this bug fixed for alpha 6, since there have been several milestones without a working wubi now.

Zartan: it means that kubuntu can't find configfile for grub... type in that shell:

configfile (hdx,x)/ubuntu/disks/boot/grub/grub.cnf

and grub should start (replace x,x by your disk/partition numbers, you can also autocomplete with tab).
BTW I guess it's a different bug.

Still broken on Karmic beta candidate disk for Mythbuntu.
Bug #431285 may be a duplicate.

Attaching log for the install that resulted in the failed install.

Ooops, make that "Attaching log for the install that resulted in the failed BOOT".

New to wubi, where can I get the latest fix?

Where to download latest wubi.exe for 9.10?

Thanks.
