Comment 35 for bug 610898

(Adding to comment #33 above)

Another (worse) form of the issue:

Although it uses the same bootloader+wubi combo as the affected ones, I casually tried Kubuntu Maverick today. The issue could be reproducible even quicker. This time I got "Alert! /host/ubuntu/root.disk not found. Dropping to shell!" just after the machine rebooted for the second time during installation (just to recall the two instances of reboot during installation - 1st is when you complete wubi wizard in windows, 2nd is when it finishes installation before loading the desktop).

Yes, not simply chkdsk, I did full format of the partition before install, if you are asking (I don't think it matters).

Well, so the issue does occur
1. after updates
2. without updates
3. even before it is fully installed!

on 9.10/ 10.04/ 10.10

Practically, at EVERY instance of grub2+wubi usage.

If there is anyone from Canonical Release team reading this, please make it a point to release a grub-legacy + wubi ISO of the latest Ubuntu at least, till the issue is resolved. This is not less than a show stopper.

Btw, one small correction in comment #33: i meant initramfs, not intrafms.
