The proper fix is to run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and select the device (or just all) in the debconf prompt for it, from which you boot. Else grub-install gets run on the wrong the device and then this can happen. Only grub-install touches /boot/grub. The package postinst just runs it if a device is stored in grub-pc/install_devices. @Vincent: You're report shows grub-pc/install_devices has /dev/hda stored. I assume that's not (anymore?) the device you boot from, else that shouldn't happen. Probable this should be merged with #554790 -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
