Colin, as for the first question, I do not have /boot mounted separately. How can I do this? I guess I have to create a new disk image to sit under the Win XP NTFS partition, move the boot contents to the new disk, add it to mtab, and rerun grub. I'm not sure about the steps to do it, specially the image creating part.
as for the second question, I just upgraded grub-common and grub-pc from karmic-propsed, after the upgrade the problem remains unfixed by default. -- After 9.10 grub update can not boot into Wubi install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477104 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
