A very similar (maybe the same) error occurs with grub-pc 1.96+20080413-1.
post-install fails with grub-probe in these two cases:
1. An earlier installation was done while a removable medium (in my
case: debian
installation CDROM) was mounted. The device (/dev/hda) will be listed in
/boot/grub/device.map. A later upgrade of grub-pc (maybe grub, too)
fails
when there is no longer a medium available.
Possible workaround which enables configure / post-install: mount a
CROM.
2. An earlier installation was done while a removable media (in my case:
SD flash card)
was not in my card reader. So there is no entry for /dev/sda in
device.map.
When I upgraded grub-pc while there was a SD card in the card reader,
grub-probe probed /dev/sda (the flash disk) and failed because of
the missing entry.
Possible workaround which enables configure / post-install: remove
SD card.
Maybe grub-probe should ignore errors from any removable medium.
