Attached is now an ugly patch which would display the grub-probe error
"Check your device.map" if it fails.
Else I had the idea to make an environment variable like
GRUB_PROBE_HIDE_ERRORS=1 which would hide the output of
grub_print_error() but then we would need to change grub-common and grub
package to fix this bug.
What do you think Robert?
