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? -- 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
