Bug Description
Attempted 4 times wubi install using Ubuntu 8.04 beta x86_64 extracted iso. Attempted 1 time wubi install using x86 extracted iso on same computer.
wubi.exe appears to run fine, reboots and installer appears to run fine until second reboot. Second reboot shows ubuntu splash screen with progress bar to completion, but then gdm doesn't start. Screen reverts to logging console.
Some investigation shows that / is mounted read-only (/dev/loop0) and lots of I/O errors. Sometimes I got a tty login prompt and sometimes not, but was never able to login.
Booting in recovery mode sometimes produced a shell and sometimes not, but in every case / was mounted read-only.
I'm not sure what info to provide, so rather than spend hours hand-typing the dmesg output or flooding this report with all kinds of shotgun info that may or may not be useful, I'm seeking feedback on the type of information that would be useful to developers.
