Package: grub2-common Version: 2.02~beta2-36 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? i changed the timeout in /etc/default/grub and ran update-grub * What was the outcome of this action? # update-grub Generating grub configuration file ... Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.6.0-1-amd64 Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.6.0-1-amd64 grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1. Check your device.map. done * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? there are 2 drives in the PC. /dev/sdb is this debian testing box. /dev/sda is unrelated. it contains an ISO image of Antergros Linux, which i dd'd to it. here's my workaround: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M & # update-grub Generating grub configuration file ...
