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/

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.
