Following situation here:

Karmic Installation with wubi
Kernel is 2.6.31-14 (no other installed)

After booting grub says "error: file not found"
grub.cfg looked like garbage

Booted Ubuntu from Live-CD
Grup.cfg looks fine here. I tried to rewrite it anyway by doing the following steps:
 - Mounted root.disk, proc, sys, dev to /mnt
 - chroot into mounted root.disk
 - Tried to repair grub with "update-grub2". grub.cfg was written but no kernels where listed in lupin-Section.
 - Mounted wubi-"host"-filesystem (the one witch is mounted to /host normaly) to /mnt/media/<normal mount point>
 - Started update-grup2 again, now my normal boot options where genereated in lupin-section in grup.cfg

After reboot the grub-menu comes up again, so grub.cfg seems to be readable again.
Selecting the default boot-option starts the kernel. The two lines for linux-image and initrd came up, but booting fails with

"Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown block (8,1)"
as in #37

So I still do not have a working system here!
