Might I add that this was a real pain for the desktop install as well. I have a number of machines which I run without a kb plugged in (i.e. main pc w/ bluetooth keyboard, media centre) and having to manually update grub on each of them to fix this was a bit much. Especially since this doesn't *only* happen on dirty power-off, but on a number of 'normal usage' things which can trigger a grub error (I didnt manage to figure out the full scope of what triggered it in the end).
