Please run sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc and make sure that GRUB 2 gets
installed to the correct device, i.e. after the debconf prompts you see
the output of grub-install.
If it then still fails type the commands from grub.cfg in the
commandline. Then you hopefully get a more useful error.
Also check if vbeinfo works and lists your mode you selected for
GRUB_GFXMODE after insmod vbe.
