Apologies if this has already been covered (multiple times) before (I did spend some time lurking). I upgraded my Karmic Koala installation, and now it won't boot! It just drops me into the sh:grub command line. After a little while searching the Google, I found this: http://www.omaregan.com/?p=583. It seems that Wubi is, in fact, the problem (although I'm the first to admit I'm a newbie, so I could be wrong). It also seems like that link has a nice solution. The problem is that in the first, command,
sh:grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-(Your version of the kernel) root=/dev/(Your Windows partition) loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
I can't seem to find my Windows partition. I know it's on hd0,2, but that doesn't show up in /dev or anywhere else for me (/dev for me contains a bunch of stuff involving ram, stdin, stdout, tty, that sort of thing). Also, all I see with an ls -l command is a listing of my partitions and their descriptions, not a path to where they're located.
Any advice would be *greatly* appreciated!
