output from grub-install --debug.
the reasion for /dev/sda showing up is because he is still using the
old device format in his fstab. and using the devfsd for backwards
compatibility.
but as for grub not being able to find the device in the bios:
/dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive
I have know idea.
