By following the instructions in the official documentation of Ubuntu, I managed to reach a working live CD environment and install Xubuntu. The next step I had to follow was to edit a grub text and then update grub for the changes to take effect {If I discarded this step, grub wouldn't load, giving me an error message which I will mention if needed}. Unfortunately, when I used "sudo update-grub" to update it, the following error came up: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). I mounted all the filesystems yet it didn't help. I tried running grub-probe by double clicking it, but again it didn't seem to run, nor was grub updated since it kept giving me the same error. I googled the error a bit, but although I tried a thing or two, it was no use. Any help would be appreciated.

However, I've gotten stuck at one step. I need to run update-grub but it's complaining about: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev http://askubuntu.com/questions/110911/how-can-i-run-update-grub-on-a-chroot-filesystem mounted?). My fstab file contains: # filesystem mount point type options dump pass UUID=76d2077e-9726-4f95-abab-323cb426b099 / ext2 defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 grub2 share|improve this question asked Mar 7 '12 at 18:50 Matt H 99131429 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 10 down vote accepted oops... my bad. It's as simple as mounting dev. Strangely enough I tried this at about 1am last night and that didn't work. This morning it did, so I'm not sure what was different. To get a full environment just sudo chroot /media/flash-drive mount proc mount sys mount dev And in case you have a separate boot partition mount boot After doing that I was able to see my devices in /dev And update-grub actually works. Now to figure out why it's not booting... that's another problem. share|improve this answer edited Apr 24 '14 at 7:14 decibyte 99210 answered Mar 7 '12 at 19:39 Matt H 99131429 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email
