After the recent grub update (to version 1.98-1ubuntu8), my Ubuntu 10.04.1 install (using Wubi on Windows 7) failed to boot. The system rebooted almost immediately after choosing "Ubuntu" in the Windows boot manager. Booting Windows was unaffected.
Editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg with a live cd (see comment #12), I removed the following lines to get the system to boot again:
if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then
set gfxmode=640x480
insmod gfxterm
insmod vbe
if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else
# For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't
# understand terminal_output
terminal gfxterm
fi
fi
and:
insmod gettext
To ensure that the offending lines are not re-added when grub.cfg is regenerated, I uncommented the line:
GRUB_TERMINAL=console
in /etc/default/grub, and ran update-grub. The resulting grub.cfg works for me.
