the error message EXACTLY SAYS (entire screen) "ALERT! /host/Ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs)_” This happened after clicking on the update which placed 2.6.35-25 as the default which was a few minutes after I finished installing 10.10 and it booted up then as 2.6.35-22 which will still boot if I scroll down to it! Something in the update caused this as that is all I did!!! I do not know what a initrd.img is! or any other commands or files in Ubuntu or Linux - just getting started.

The message "The root.disk does not exist" is clearly incorrect, because you can still boot the older kernel. Is dropping you at a busybox prompt? This has been a fairly common problem with the post-install procedures resulting in a bad initrd.img - and I'd guess this is your problem. In which case you can try regenerating it - boot with the -22 kernel and run: sudo update-initramfs -k 2.6.35-25-generic -c -- You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709952 Title: Update won't boot Status in Wubi, Windows Ubuntu Installer: Incomplete Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: software-center Downloaded the 64bit desktop with Wubi from Ubuntu.com installed Ubuntu 10.10 in XP SP3, started ok 2.6.35-22, updated got a list with 2.6.35-25 as the default (top) and generic 2.6.35-25 reports... "root.disk does not exist" recovery mode for ...-25 is the same error, but scrolling down to 2.6.35-22 (or editing it back to ...-22) works fine. How do I fix it or change it to default to -22 until a fix is found? The editing changes are not saved if I do it from the boot options. I'm very new to Ubuntu/Linux, but MCSE for Windows. I looked all over the web, user groups, did not find a solution. I want to let others use this system and another, but have to explain how to get it to boot for them.
