It just happened to me. ACER Ferrari 3400 laptop, an old one running 8.04 before. I decided to install everything anew, just Ubuntu, no other OS on the hard drive. I ended up editing /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib as suggested in this thread to fix the problem.
This is a really annoying bug with karmic. And I agree, why not give this bug a high priority? In fact, I just noticed that it hasn't even been assigned to anyone yet! -- Grub 2 problem, error: no such device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
