Comment 105 for bug 477104

This needs to be put someplace people can easily find it. I installed wubi on my sisters laptop because windows was having all sorts of problems and I said ubuntu would be more stable. Less than a week later and the night before I leave I get the latest kernel and can't boot. If that wasn't bad enough, it took me, a battle hardened linux vet almost 2 hours to find the fix at the bottom of one of many similar bug reports.

When mistakes of this magnitude are made it doesn't just make linux and the ubuntu project look bad it makes all of the evangelists out there trying to help people look bad too.

Please please please add a warning someplace highly visible or perhaps push a notice out to people via a package that this is a known bug that can break wubi, and how to fix it.

Thanks,
