I am a newbie and really did not wish to mess with wubi/winblows so I have done this (found after days of searching so to whoever wrote it, many thanks) and it worked for me: sh:grub>insmod ntfs sh:grub>set root=(hd0,1) sh:grub>loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk sh:grub>set root=(loop0) sh:grub>linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro sh:grub>initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic sh:grub>boot Once booted I went into terminal and did this: sudo update-grub No problems booting anymore. -- Wubi/Karmic boot: kernel panic - not synching: VFS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477169 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
