The folder is in C drive of Windows C:\ubuntu\ there is no folder named boot here and instead it is C:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub and this folder is completely empty. I think Wubi installation does not uses grub. I have not done any changes to any default installation. It was just a normal installation. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: wubi missing module multiboot to boot with Xen
Continuing in same thread where we are trying to debug a grub problem
on a machine where Ubuntu
was installed using Wubi in C driver of Windows 7 C:\ubuntu
following are the grub entries we need to boot
menuentry "Xen Linux 2.6.32.27" {
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,2)'
loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk
set root=(loop0)
multiboot /boot/xen.gz
module/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.27 dummy=dummy root=/dev/sda2
loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro console=tty0
module/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.27
}
with above entries I was getting
error:file not found.
when booting and command multiboot ,module are not present.
Now to dig this issue further I reboot the machine and go to grub command prompt
and manually pass on each of the above parameters which you see in the
grub entry
when I reached
grub> insmod multiboot
then I got following message on screen
error:file not found.

As Phillip suggested
set prefix=(loop0)/boot/grub
I tried putting above line at many different places which included
before I gave command
insmod multiboot
and I am getting the same file not found error.
Any further things that I may look into?

I am not very clear with what you said in following entry where should
I add the line as you suggested.
menuentry "Xen Linux 2.6.32.27" {
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,2)'
loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk
set root=(loop0)
multiboot /boot/xen.gz
module/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.27 dummy=dummy root=/dev/sda2
loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro console=tty0
module/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.27
}
Wubi with Xen problem set multiboot module missing,module command not
found error was being discussed above.

wubi missing module multiboot to boot with Xen
Here is a situation 1 week back I had asked in this list about a clean
way to install Ubuntu on a friends laptop and how to uninstall.
I have installed and things worked by now perfectly without any problem.
We are trying to set up a Xen (virtualization)environment in this
laptop as this is the only piece of good hardware with VT support in
built available to us.
After setting up every thing cleanly.
When I needed to boot with following grub entries
menuentry "Xen Linux 2.6.32.27" {
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,2)'
loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk
set root=(loop0)
multiboot /boot/xen.gz
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.27 dummy=dummy root=/dev/sda2
loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro console=tty0
module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.27
}
I got
error:file not found.
when booting and command multiboot ,kernel,module are not present.
Now to dig this issue further I reboot the machine and go to grub command prompt
and manually pass on each of the above parameters which you see in the
grub entry
when I reached
grub> insmod multiboot
then I got following message on screen
error:file not found.
It looks like my grub setup has just enough modules to use loopback
file on ntfs, but the ACTUAL /boot directory is on the loopback NOT
ntfs (hd0,2). Therefore any attempt to read any files from (hd0,2)
simply wont work, cause there's no file there.It's a somewhat
advanced setup, I am trying to troubleshoot ntfs-loop-xen
combination.This is not Xen-specific, but rather wubi - grub -
multiboot
issue.I want to know how can I install the missing modules of grub in Wubi?
I need to use insmod multiboot and commands kernel,module available in
grub in this Ubuntu setup which was done using Wubi.
How can I get module multiboot in this Wubi based install.Since the
laptop is given to me on trust so I can not format drives
and use a usual partition without Wubi type setup so any clues what
should I do in this situation?
Is Ubuntu only for kids who do not know ls,cd,pwd or it can be made to
work in this grave virtualization situation which I am facing?
