Installed Ubuntu 9.10 on Lenovo x200 Tablet with Windows 7.
Apparently Wubi automatically installed the 64-bit version on this pc.
Description:
1. Installation: using Wubi.exe
2. Install type: Install under Windows
Process:
1. after selecting drive size, username & password, the installer automatically does everything
2. reboot after prompted
3. in the boot menu, choose Ubuntu
4. Goes into installation process for a couple minutes
5. reboot
6. in the boot menu, choose Ubuntu
7. will take you to the Grub menu. Here's the problem...
Issue:
- Cannot boot Ubuntu. After selecting 'Ubuntu' in the Boot menu, it will take you to Grub prompt "Grub 1.97 beta4" (which is actually Grub 2), and prompt: sh:grub>
Solution:
do the following:
sh:grub> set root=(loop0)
sh:grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz...-generic root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
sh:grub> initrd /boot/initrd...
sh:grub> boot
So far it solved my issue. The PC now has dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10, and does not have to do the grub commands each time loading Ubuntu.
I found the solution in the Ubuntu forum, unfortunately cannot find the exact post again: [link]
