I'm still seeing this in natty / 11.04 -- with all updates installed.

Error message : usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk.

Please report this together with the output of "/usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-map="/boot/grub/device.map" --target=fs -v /boot/grub" to <email address hidden>

iU grub2 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (dummy package)

Workaround: Install grub2 to from another distro, but then I run into problems every time i try to 'apt-get upgrade'. How can I tell apt / dpkg to leave the "foreign"version of grub2 alone? Or better yet, how do I tell it to use something from backports for this package only?

Please let me know if I can supply any more output or experiments for followup.
