Title:
  Boot from FAT32 error and return to grub menu

Status in Wubi, Windows Ubuntu Installer:
  Confirmed
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This problem was observed on an i386 machine with a fresh Wubi
  installation of Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot on a FAT32 primary partition.

  Booting the default grub menu selection results in the message "You need to load the kernel first", and a subsequent return to the grub menu.
  Once returned to the Grub menu, I only have to press <Enter> to properly boot Oneiric.

  My previous Wubi Natty set-up did not show this error.

  My old machine is set-up for multi-boot:
  1. c: partition FAT32 with Win98se;
  2. XP on NTFS in an extended DOS partition;
  3. a fresh Wubi Oneiric installation on the c:-drive.

  After a fresh Wubi Oneiric install, the Grub menu has only the two default entries.
  My partitions are: (memdisk) (hd0) (loop0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos2) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1)..
