$prefix wrong after update to grub when using wubi

[FlailingWalrus]

Binary package hint: grub2

After installing several updates to Ubuntu 9.10 and restarting my system I was presented with the GNU GRUBs rescue shell. After discussing the problem with the online IRC community they came to this conclusion:

$prefix is being set incorrectly by grub-install. In my device it should be (loop0)/boot/grub and instead it was (hd0,1)/boot/grub.

On the advice of the irc admin:

ls -l

Device loop0: Filesystem type ext2, Last modification 2009-11-21 03:24:58 Saturday, UUID

Device hd0: Partition table

Partition hd0,2: Filesystem type ntfs, label Hp_Recovery, UUID

Partition hd0,1: Filesystem type ntfs, UUID

Did you install Ubuntu using Wubi?

[FlailingWalrus (llsaix7ll)]

Yes I did

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

This was reported against a very old release so I'm going to close it. If you still have the issue please reopen.
