[Bug 898416] Re: AMD 64 Install with Wubi on Windows 7 Laptop..hangs

[Lawrence R Bellmore Jr]

Tried for 5th time.. still hangs with flashing cursor after reboot from
install... if I reboot and select Ubuntu at the choice of boot, I go to
the grub prompt.. and nothing I have tried from there goes any where.
The message states that the install didn't work.  I am going to remove
the install and try installing the 32 bit version..to see if it will
install.. then I will advise outcome...here

Title:
  AMD 64 Install with Wubi on Windows 7 Laptop..hangs

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  similar conditions to Question 116212.  If I reboot I get to the grub
  prompt.  Then  in following the instructions in 116212 and enter
  "search -f /vmlinuz" the response is "cannot find vmlinuz"

  I did an "ls" at the grup prompt and got (loop0) (hd0) (hd0,msdos1)
  (hd0,msdos2)...

  I have tried to load Unbuntu 4 times.. same outcome.. I have it on my
  other computers in the office on dual boot and full install on one
  laptop and one desktop.. one desktop is dual boot because I can't get
  one or more programs to run under Ubuntu yet..

  I was intending to transition this laptop to a full Ubuntu install and
  getting rid of Windows all together... but this is just not
  happening..

  Help...please.
  Bob
