Mark ...
As a complete linux novice....(1st time using it 9 days ago ... and that simply to download ubuntu under windows and run it ...I am gussing that was the wubi?) I am sure post# 69 ha the answer to the problem .... but , of courde, not having a usb stick, I fell at the 1st hurdle. 99% of what is being discussed here goes straight over my head (what on earth does "define a loop0 *and* a loop1 in grub, as grub only needs to know about your new boot.disk in order to boot. The "loop=" kernel parameter referencing" mean and a unified-diff patch???!?
In short ... without an usb stick and sh:grub prompt to the ready , what EXACTLY do I type to implement your #70 workaround ?
ps. it took me fully 4 1/2 hours to work out that my kernel version(?!?%) was 2.6.31-14-generic. is tht even right? ... am i in the right place ..... HHEEELLLPP!!!
thanx
