After 370 lines in the attached grub-pc.log, I had to kill grub-install (I could not kill grub-setup). pstree at that time was
bash─┬─frontend───grub-pc.postins───grub-install───grub-setup └─tee
In the end I had to kill frontend. Here's the pstree before the final killing began:
bash(22083)─┬─frontend(22100)───grub-pc.postins(22122)───grub-mkconfig(23466)───30_os-prober(23658)───30_os-prober(23670)─┬─os-prober(23671)───50mounted-tests(23744)───mount(23748)───mount.ntfs-3g(23749) │ ├─paste(23673) │ └─tr(23672) └─tee(22101)
