[Bug 477169] Re: Wubi/Karmic boot: kernel panic - not synching: VFS
Mark ... As a complete linux novice(1st time using it 9 days ago ... and that simply to download ubuntu under windows and run it ...I am gussing that was the wubi?) I am sure post# 69 ha the answer to the problem but , of courde, not having a usb stick, I fell at the 1st hurdle. 99% of what is being discussed here goes straight over my head (what on earth does "define a loop0 *and* a loop1 in grub, as grub only needs to know about your new boot.disk in order to boot. The "loop=" kernel parameter referencing" mean and a unified-diff patch???!? In short ... without an usb stick and sh:grub prompt to the ready , what EXACTLY do I type to implement your #70 workaround ? ps. it took me fully 4 1/2 hours to work out that my kernel version(?!?%) was 2.6.31-14-generic. is tht even right? ... am i in the right place .

Mark ... I am sorry if I sounded ungrateful in my last post ... I am not... in fact your clearly evident expertise is appreciated more than you can know! Gives me some hope the issue is solvable. The frustrating bit is ... I know you know how to solve this ... but I can't work it out from your solutions ... (everything to to with my lack of any unix experience , I am sure!) .I just don't know how to start (no usb stick) . sh:grub >linux /vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda5 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro single sh:grub> initrd /initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic sh:grub> boot This sequence sends a load of stuff rushing past the screen then it suddenly stops and hangs with the caps lock and numlock lights flashing . The only thing I can do at that point is to switch off the laptop and start up again .

Alexlinux Thanx for your comments. I have tried numbers sda0 up to sda9 No joy. With the addition of the splash and quiet words in the 1st line , there is no more stuff rushing past the screen anymore but the machine still hangs with the lights flashing. you can imagine I had to switch of and back on ten times to do this ... oh where has my lovely ubuntu (not to mention all my precious data) gone??!!??
