Bug#473340: grub-probe: cannot find a GRUB drive for ....
I got this error too after upgrading GRUB from 0.97-32 to 0.97-36. Turns out my device.map had this: ~$ cat /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/hda But the device name changed to /dev/sda a long time ago, when I switched to the new SATA drivers. Correcting the device.map fixes the problem. Apparently this GRUB version is less tolerant to this error. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Package: grub Version: 0.97-35 After upgrade from grub version 0.97-32, I was unable to install new kernel version becouse update-grub fails. It seems that problem is with grub-probe: isis:~# grub-probe / grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sde1. Downgrade to version 0.97-32 solves the problem. Maybe it is worth mentioning that /dev/sde1 is my root drive (at the moment). But I use UUID to identify partitions in my /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst from fstab: ...
