I installed Ubuntu 11.10 through Wubi to a Windows 7 NTFS drive. Everything worked ok -- after I booted into Ubuntu I did all the upgrades and everything was ok and I rebooted etc. However today, after the first cold boot Ubuntu does a kernel panic and I see a purple screen.
Since Wubi uses the Windows Boot Manager I can't set nomodeset or remove quite splash, so I have no way to see whats going on or causing the panic, I just get a purple screen and a flashing caps lock.
Does anyone know what happened and how to fix it?
1I think wubu uses grub4dos as its bootloader, so if you press ESC very fast after you selected the entry from Windows bootmgr, you might get the grub menu. You can use 'e' or 'c' from there. – billc.cn – 2012-02-12T06:20:54.813
