Same problem here after 2.6.31-19 kernel upgrade. At first I had
enduring trouble and great pain booting manually, and I wanted to share
the instructions that worked for my system.
The greatest point of confusion for me was that there were no /dev/sd...
entries listed via "ls /dev" from the grub command prompt. Despite
this, my manual boot succeeded when I used "root=/dev/sda2". in my
"linux ..." command. Also, my host (vista) partition was not mounted
properly, so I could not "ls /ubuntu". Yet despite that I was able to
successfully specify "loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk" in my linux command.
System details:
hardware: lenovo r61i laptop (probably not relevant)
host OS: Windows Vista
wubi version: ? (probably not relevant)
ubuntu version: 9.10
Manual boot instructions:
set root=(loop0)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-16-generic root=/dev/sda2
loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-16-generic
boot
In Ubuntu after manual root:
"sudo update-grub" ("sudo update-grub2" is equivalent?)
Notes:
You may have to change /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda1. You need to pick the device
that corresponds to the windows partition that stores your wubi installation. I
think I simply used "ls" from the grub command prompt and got info that
suggested I needed to use sda2. (I think the first partition was the windows
boot partition).
