Comment 58 for bug 477104

In brief - same behaviour as #44.

Installed kubuntu 9.10 with wubi, was running fine this morning. Then I updated it and since then it won't boot up giving the
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on uknown-block (8,2)
message

I tried manually booting like in #1 (tried all sdaX just in case..) , but it ends up with the exact same error as #44.

Outputs to commands asked for in #29:

ls:
(loop0) (hd0) (hd0,4) (hd0,2) (hd0,1) (fd0)

root:
Filesystem is ext2

cat (loop0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
<a bunch of readable text, e.g. something like #42>

configfile (loop0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg:
start up the same choice I had before entering grub command prompt..
