Comment 137 for bug 1289977

@psusi. You can add +1 to people having this issue. Don't say "1 million people have no problem",
if you don't speak about 14.04. Also, the 89 number is from prople who were able to boot.

My system is fresh 13.04, upgraded to 13.10, and 14.04.

I did not touch grub, and I was lucky enough to have a second computer (Apple) where I could
burn a boot-repair. What about others who just cannot, such as your mom? Silent, so no issue reported?

And no, I don't have dual boot. And yes I have 2 hard drives, but never booted from the second one.

This is a serious bug, really. My computer would have been stoned without the Mac to help.
Another distro could be better, of course, if change management (especially testing) is correctly done.

I would add: "Also, once again, it can't be validated in an automatic way" is a nonsence. A booting drive
(unique) can be validated. If the script is not sure, asking a question would not hurt.
