Same wireless card, same audio control buttons, etc. The one issue I did have, though, was that when I selected Crunchbang from the Windows bootloader, I got a black screen with a blinking cursor instead of GRUB2. After some reading I found out that bcdedit doesn't always play nicely with partitions that are not primary... and since our entire #! install is built inside of an Extended Partition, it didn't like that. My solution was to create an extra Primary Partition outside of our Extended Partition. I created a 100mb partition for the Linux \boot drive and installed GRUB2 there during the #! install. Worked like a champ for me after that. Just thought I'd share my deviation and say thanks for the great guide!

I've never encountered that particular problem before. It appears though that BCD may not be correctly pointed to GRUB. About the only thing I could suggest is to go back through the steps, ensuring that you've correctly installed GRUB on the partition containing Ubuntu, and that you've indeed pointed BCD to the correct partition.

Basically it does a loop: win bootloader, select ubuntu, reboot pc, win bootloader. is there any way to solve this? did exactly what you said but everytime i try to load linux from windows bootloader the PC reboots its self and goes to windows boot manager.
