I had this problem on 9.10 update to from Linux version 2.6.31-14-generic to Linux version 2.6.31-20-generic
After kernel update I got the must load kernel first message.
It apperas that grub cannot load kernels if they are located beyond the 1st 4Gig of drive space.

I found a patch to WUBI file (wubildr file). If was on source forge and had a link to update the file
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Wubi_9.10

I was already booted into an old kernel that still worked (.14)and I didnt want to wait for windows 7 to slow boot just to replace one file so i just renamed the old wubildr file and copied the new downloaded on into its place from ubuntu 2.6.31-14. (from Linux file is located in /host directory)
After replacing this file reboot and choose latest kernel. I am writing this note from kernel 2.6.31-20. WOO HOO!!!
