2008-05-30 18:21:07 Evan description and this is a problem for my Wubi installation, given that the file containing the root filesystem is on a FAT32 partition. It does not boot ! It worked nicely until 2.6.24-16 Then, I got an update from the update manager end the updated kernel and initramfs image don't boot. I managed to type a modprobe -v vfat at the (initramfs) prompt and found out ther was no vfat module. Since I was at it I also noticed there no ntfs either. I can't repot any log because there's no filesystem I can mount, without vfat. Sorry Thanks Cato The initramfs lacks vfat support. This means that Wubi users coming from a FAT Windows partition will be able to install (casper has vfat), but they will be left with an unbootable system at the first update-initramfs. TEST CASE: Install Ubuntu using Wubi on a Windows FAT partition and install all available updates. Reboot and you will be presented with an initramfs prompt.
