the "linux" and "initrd" commands work, I can load the files (and it returns with the values that it succeeds). But when the "boot" runs, finds sda6 (the one it supposed to), but throws a "kernel panic"..... Using a new install, separate directory, same wubi type of loopback device mount, exactly the same commands the bootup just works... > So I would expect you to end up in a busybox shell within linux (not grub). > In there can you try to mount the windows partition? That's not the case at all... the gnu grub 1.97~beta4 that is installed by ubuntu can give me a shell, with a prompt like sh:grub> This shell, however don't have the "mount" option at all... I can set the root of the system I'm checking (with "set root=(device)"), so I can find the files on the windows partitions as well as on the /ubuntu/disks/root.disk loopback device....
