grub2 doesn't work for SATA RAID yet. This is a known issue.

Yes, I have hd sata but i haven't RAID.
My hd devices are:

Channel 0(IDE)
master: none
slave: Sdc1 (Ext3 Backup Disk)

Channel 1:
Sata 0: HD Sda1Ubuntu with EXT4 fs
Sata 1: HD Sdb1 NTFS (Win Xp) - Sdb2 (Ext4, Backup2 disk)

Channel 2
Sata 2: DVD
Stata3: DVD
Thanks for your work
David

This from your console output means you have a so called SATA RAID or
dmraid or motherboard fake RAID:
 grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `nvidia_bcdadjfb1'

What does `mount' say?

In the BIOS the RAID options is "DISABLE".
The BIOS parameters are even freeze from 2008. Infact Ubuntu Jaunty
during installation don't have problem, the sda drive has been
recognized accurately, and not as 'nvidi_bcdad...'.
I then formatted the disk when installing ubuntu karmik rc1, and the
"nvidia..." is appeared.
Actually, the boot disk with Ubuntu Karmik is /dev/sda
(/dev/mapper/nvidia..)

I did not understand what you mean

Thanks

Execute the command mount without any parameters in a terminal.
If you or /etc/fstab use(s) the /dev/mapper device then grub-probe will
also use that one.

If you really don't use dmraid, you can purge the dmraid package, run
`sudo update-initramfs -c -t -k all' and then reboot to get rid of
the /dev/mapper/nvidia_ devices.
But this only cleanly works if nothing uses these devices. I.e.
mostly /etc/fstab.

The workaround works for me! Thanks.
