To start with, could you please at least attach the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, the output of "debconf-show grub-pc", and also the information that you alluded to here but didn't attach: > Please attach the file: > /tmp/user/1000/reportbug-ng-grub2-common-FhfDux.txt > to the mail. I'd do it myself if the output wasn't too long to handle. Given that you have several disks, I suspect the problem might simply be that you've failed to install GRUB to the disk that your system is actually booting from; the error message above could well be from a half-installed out-of-date version of GRUB on one of those disks, or something similar. This is a common mistake but very difficult for the packaging to defend against since the PC architecture makes it near-impossible to find this information accurately after boot. Running "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" as root and telling it to install to the master boot records of all your non-removable disks is usually a reliable way to fix this.
