"Error: device name already exists" at boot about wubiuefi HOT 2 OPEN

IMHO it is an error message of the GRUB loopback command. There has been a change since creation date of original Wubi: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg31239.html

In previous GRUB versions command loopback replaces existing name loop0 without error messages. loop0 does always exist from the first boot script:

So a possible solution of the issue is that you use a different device name e.g. loop1:

        loopback loop1 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk
        set root=(loop1)

It should be also possible to delete the device before creating a new one with the same name:

        loopback -d loop0
        loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk
        set root=(loop0)

Additionally, it should also possible to use the existing one:

        set root=(loop0)

But I try to find a general solution. It should be compatible with previous versions.

I enabled the grub console option and found out this error before:
Error: symbol grub_abort not found

I can't find that error anywhere in the entire internet
