Wubi Ubuntu boots into CLI

I have a spare PC running Windows XP and Ubuntu through a Wubi installation. This evening Ubuntu wouldn't start normally. Instead, it just showed me the command line interface, starting with "(initramfs)". Not good.

Searching on the Net I stumbled upon the phrase "Ubuntu cannot be booted if Windows has not been shut down cleanly" on the WubiGuide. That made me think that indeed I had not shut down Windows properly before. So I did a checkdisk on both volumes (Windows is on E:, the Wubi files are on C:, don't ask me how I came to this odd configuration), restarted into Ubuntu and everything was fine again.
