Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub2

One of the later updates delivers an invalid grub-probe.
Output of
sudo grub-probe /dev/sda
is
grub-probe: info: cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map'.
grub-probe: info: changing current directory to /dev.
grub-probe: info: changing current directory to dri.

grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /dev/sda (is /dev mounted?).

And output of lls -l /dev/sda
is
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 2010-08-12 12:40 /dev/sda

Subsequently - update-grub and others down the line do not work which e.g. results in Nvidia drivers not being integrated which then crashes Xorg.
