Wrong order of commands on chrooting for grub #11

Closed benlk closed 10 years ago

benlk commented 10 years ago

In the unmounting section of https://github.com/eustasy/howtoubuntu.org/blob/master/broadcast/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd.php , You must umount /mnt/dev/pts/ before umount /mnt/dev/. Doing it as currently written will result in an error, at least on the Ubuntu 12.04 live CD.

The Boot-Repair tool is of great use, and may be an asset in this tutorial.

You are quite right, in fact I have reversed the ordering for all the unmounts, as they should have been. As to Boot-Repair, I have found it finicky and unsupportive in far too many situations. I would prefer users have more knowledge of what is failing, rather than a generic error.
