After the recent grub update (to version 1.98-1ubuntu8), my Ubuntu
10.04.1 install (using Wubi on Windows 7) failed to boot. The system
rebooted almost immediately after choosing Ubuntu in the Windows boot
manager. Booting Windows was unaffected.
Editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg with a live cd (see
I don't understand how to do your instructions: I need a step by step fix to
this problem:
Upgrade grub-pc to version 1.98-1ubuntu7 in lucid-updates (should fail) or to
version 1.98-1ubuntu8 which I'll upload to lucid-proposed shortly (should
work).
How?

[Wubi] when updating it advices
Eric this fix has already been released . If it has broken your install
the fix involves getting Wubi to boot, and then manually repairing it.
At ubuntuforums.org we are working on a single thread to explain all
this in a clear and concise way, but in the meantime, you can do this.
Boot a live
1. Install Wubi Ubuntu 10.04.1 on same partition as Windows
2. Run all updates listed by update manager (210MB) including grub-pc and
grub-common
3. Reboot.
Result, Ubuntu does not boot. Selecting ubuntu from the Windows boot manager
causes computer to reboot.
The only workaround I can find is
Even for users who installed on the same partition as windows, the wubildr
update is failing. So we have wubi users who installed on the same partition
can't start Ubuntu. And wubi users who installed on a different partition
installing grub and not booting either windows or ubuntu.
And all
pity about users who didn't install on the same partition as windows.
let the borkage commence. is it me or does it appear 1 test case was
enough to verify?

* On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr using
the diverted grub-install (LP: #581760).

I tried to verify this by
a.) installing wubi from 10.04 (not 10.04.1 ISO)
d044a2a0c8103fc3e5b7e18b0f7de1c8 ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso
b.) add -proposed
c.) apt-get update apt-get install grub-pc
I noticed in the upgrade console messages that i was replacing '1.98-1ubuntu7'.
Though I'm
I tried above again, this time disconnecting the network cord.
- Installed from the same media mentioned.
- rebooted, hitting escape at the grub loader after windows loader and verified
it was 1.98-1ubuntu5
- let the install run to completion
- reboot, verify still at 1.98-1ubuntu5
- did not add
Accepted grub2 into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be
available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
