I think this is probably the same as bug 742967. I thought at first it had something to do with my install being on a non-windows partition, but I've been suspecting that the partition part was just coincidence and timing as grub was modified between my test installs. Anyway - there is some analysis there about new sections of grub.cfg that may be useful.
Quote:
This is the section of grub.cfg that differs from a lucid 10.04.2 grub:
function load_video {
true
}
insmod part_msdos /dev/sda, msdos3) ' disks/root. disk grub/unicode. pf2 ; then
insmod ntfs
set root='(
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 8654915254914639
loopback loop0 /ubuntu/
set root=(loop0)
if loadfont /usr/share/
set gfxmode=auto
load_video
insmod gfxterm
fi
terminal_output gfxterm
I find if I remove the bit from "insmod part_msdos" to "set root=(loop0)" it boots fine.
