Grub reports: Error: unknown command: loadfont Error: unknown command: gfxterm ... Error: file not found Computer then reboots. Additonal info: wubi installed to partition on external drive /dev/sdb8 (type fat32) 5GB root.disk Installation of 10.04.1 with all current updates. Upgraded to maverick, during which I selected to install grub to the /dev/sda device (to duplicate what many users did during the 10.04.1 updates). After the upgrade I confirmed that grub had installed to the MBR pointing to partition #256 as expected (as the wubi install was to a partition other than windows). After fixing the MBR, the wubi install failed to boot. Grub reports: Error: unknown command: loadfont Error: unknown command: gfxterm ... Error: file not found Computer then reboots. Additonal info: wubi installed to partition on external drive /dev/sdb8 (type fat32) 5GB root.disk I've rerun the upgrade since without doing the grub test and could not duplicate the failure. In each upgrade (one on the same partition as windows, one on a different partition) the upgrade was successful.
