Sorry to ask a potentially off-topic question, but I have received no help from the GRUB2 mailing list. The reply I got was: "Well apparently the number you gave it wasn't magic ;) just a joke. I really don't have a good answer , I wish I did. Sorry , I just needed to clown for a bit." http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.grub.user/974
If noone has time to help, no problemo. I suppose that when Canonical releases the final 12.04 that the problem will go away with a fresh install.
I have a 3.2.0-6 kernel that Canonical built which successfully boots. I have tried building a Linus GIT tree kernel using the .config that Canonical used, but it still fails to boot. My best guess is that perhaps there is either a problem with my Grub2 (1.99-14ubuntu2) installation, or that something is amiss with my toolchain.
I am running a WUBI install (the root filesystem is located in a loopback mounted file on my Windows 7 NTFS filesystem). The distribution is Ubuntu 11.10 upgraded to 12.04 (Precise Pangolin).
