This dialog box strictly speaking isn't normal or expected, the
installer initially configure grub_{efi,pc}/install_devices, then this
isn't expected to pop up.

It usually shows up when the originally configured install device became
invalid due to some system configuration change, and strictly speaking
outside the simplest of case of one connected hark disk, there is no
safe default that is appropriate.

Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1940723
and it's many duplicates.

Is it possible that something was changed about this installation /
computer since it was originally installed that could have caused the
install device to become invalid?
